E/CN.4/1992/52 page 124 arrangements include consultation with the leaders of communities that may be the victims of violence. The National Inquiry into Racist Violence conducted by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission during 1989-1991 did bring to light the prevalence of incidents of racial/religious violence, where people practising certain religions have been the victims of discrimination or violence on the basis of an imputed link with a particular ethnic background. Thus, Muslim people were the subject of increased harassment at the time of the Gulf crisis. Incidents of violence were reported to the Inquiry particularly by the Jewish community and Muslim Australians. In view of this link between religious and racial harassment the Inquiry recommended that the Racial Discriminaton Act 1975 be amended to specifically provide: 'that discrimination against or harassment of a person on account of that person's religious belief be prohibited where the religious belief is commonly associated with persons of a particular race or races or of a particular ethnic group or groups and is used as a surrogate for discrimination or harassment on the basis of race or ethnicity.' (recommendation 10, p. 390) The Inquiry also recommended the creation of offences for the act of inciting racial hostility and racist violence. The changes recommended by the Inquiry are under consideration by the Government." "There are no clashes of violence in Belize that are noticeable between members of different religious denominations. Verbal clashes do occur, however, these are within permissible boundaries of our Criminal and Civil Laws. Although the Government of Belize has shown a high tolerance for different religious beliefs, it does not permit extremist groups to practice their religion in Belize. Churches are properly screened before approval is granted by the National Assembly for their incorporation." Bolivia "There is no history of clashes of this kind. Various religions at present co-exist in the country in harmony and mutual respect." Botswana "There are no clashes between different religious denominations." Burkina Faso "In its reply, the Government of Burkina Faso stated that "Burkina Faso has no religious problems either. The only known cases go back more than 10 years. They mainly concerned an inter-Muslim problem which brought adherents of two different movements into conflict in 1974 at Bobo-Dioulasse, the country's second city."
