A/72/287 xenophobia among the public. The Special Rapporteur welcomes this good practice and encourages the media and journalists to work with the Ombudsperson to develop voluntary ethical codes of conduct and self-regulatory measures, policies and practices to combat racism. He also encourages States to ensure diversity of voices through incentives and support to community media providing visibility and voice to victims of racism. 109 III. Conclusions and recommendations 86. The upsurge in terrorist attacks in recent times has prompted States in various regions of the world to adopt a variety of counter-terrorism measures. While the Special Rapporteur acknowledges the necessity for States to take measures to combat terrorism, he nonetheless expresses his concern that certain groups are disproportionately affected by counter-terrorism measures. Such measures are not only contrary to the principle of non-discrimination, but also prevent affected communities from fully enjoying a wide variety of other human rights. 87. The Special Rapporteur recalls that, in line with General Assembly resolution 60/288 on the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the prevention of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance should be an integral part of any strategy to prevent and fight against terrorism. In this regard, he also recalls general recommendation No. 30 (2004) on discrimination against non-citizens of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, according to which States parties must ensure that any measures taken in the fight against terrorism do not discriminate, in purpose or effect, on the grounds of race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin. The Special Rapporteur recommends that States incorporate concrete measures and adequate mechanisms to prevent racism and xenophobia into their national counter-terrorism frameworks. Such measures include non-discrimination provisions in relevant legal and policy documents as well as the establishment of appropriate oversight mechanisms tasked to review counter-terrorism legislation, practices and powers. 88. The Special Rapporteur reiterates that the systematic collection of disaggregated data is particularly important in the context of counter terrorism. He recommends the collection of disaggregated data and statistics on the number of cases of racism and xenophobia reported to the authorities, including the percentage of investigations and prosecutions undertaken following such complaints and their outcome. He also recommends that States collect data on law enforcement practices and the use of administrative measures. In that regard, he encourages States to promote the implementation of good practices, such as the use of registration forms for the police to record all identity checks or house searches. Such forms could provide the victims of racial profiling with a record of their encounter with the police that could be used as proof when seeking remedy. 89. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur recommends that States ensure adequate resources for human rights and non-discrimination training for all relevant officials involved in combating terrorism. He emphasizes that training efforts need to be accompanied by comprehensive education and awarenessraising initiatives. In particular, the Special Rapporteur calls for sustained public campaigns and initiatives to be undertaken to change the social __________________ 109 22/23 A/HRC/35/41/Add.1, paras. 80-81 and 114-116. 17-13397
