A/HRC/8/31 Page 15 70. Switzerland, taking note of the new anti-terrorism legislation, which extends the scope of manoeuvre of services in charge, recommended that measures be implemented in respect of international human rights obligations, including the right to a fair trial and the right to freedom and security of the person. Switzerland asked whether the newly established Article 1 Association may receive complaints by individuals concerning discrimination, whether these complaints will be submitted to courts on behalf of victims, and whether they will be incorporated in statistics. Lastly, Switzerland invited the Netherlands to provide information on its action plan on human rights education, noting that other States could benefit from its conclusions. 71. New Zealand noted with concern that there is growing polarization in the Netherlands between people of Dutch origin and immigrants, and the rising tide of racist and xenophobic sentiments this has generated. It asked how much progress the Netherlands has made in establishing a national human rights institution based on the Paris Principles, which had been one of its pledges for the Human Rights Council. New Zealand recommended that the Netherlands take the necessary steps to establish this institution, which would play an important role in ensuring the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms that form the very basis of Dutch society. 72. Saudi Arabia noted that the phenomenon of discrimination, targeting in particular Muslim communities, was proof of the deteriorating living conditions of these communities. With reference to the film “Fitna”, which was provocative and an unacceptable exploitation of freedom of expression, it noted that the Netherlands had legislation but that international standards relating to prohibition of discrimination were not effectively enforced. It requested information on measures the Netherlands has taken to deal with Islamophobia and to raise awareness in order to promote tolerance and mutual respect. Taking into account measures and legislation, Saudi Arabia recommended to enforce legislation on equality and non-discrimination, adopt measures to combat Islamophobia, and to work on promoting a society of tolerance through educational measures. 73.

In her 2007 report, the National Rapporteur on Trafficking issued a number of recommendations on further measures to be taken and to strengthen provisions for assistance to victims. Sweden asked if the Netherlands could elaborate on its view on these recommendations and other proposals made by the National Rapporteur. 74. The State Secretary of Justice indicated that the Netherlands has established a national human trafficking task force, with the duty to combine and coordinate all efforts of existing institutions, such as special police units and the National Rapporteur. The task force will exchange best practices and eliminate bottlenecks, with a view to adding to existing infrastructure. 75. The State Secretary of Justice stated that all inhabitants are protected against discrimination, be they Dutch nationals or migrants. The equal treatment law applies to the European part of the Netherlands. The Netherlands Antilles is considering a similar act on equality of treatment. She stated that various data, such as on health, trade union membership or criminal convictions constitute special data. Processing such data can be a breach of privacy, so there are specific restrictions in the law in this regard. Such data can only be revealed in circumstances where it is inevitable to do so. She added that by 2009 the national network of anti-discrimination bureaus will cover the entire country and local governments will be required to provide assistance. A public information campaign will be launched to assist victims of discrimination in filling out reports. 76. The State Secretary of Justice stated that the European part, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles are three co-equal fully autonomous partners in their respective affairs. The Netherlands had stressed its concerns with the findings of the European Committee for the
