In addition, international human rights norms were introduced in the training of magistrates and other law enforcement officers. III. STEPS TAKEN BY THE OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS MECHANISMS A. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights 31. In January 2006 OHCHR organized a High-Level Seminar on Racism and the Internet during the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (see E/CN.4/2006/18). The panellists at the seminar addressed the issue of the Internet as a means of inciting racist and religious hatred. 32. OHCHR supported the Second Consultation of Governmental Institutions Responsible for the Promotion of Policies of Racial Equality held in Montevideo from 26 to 28 June 2006. The participants addressed the challenges and difficulties affecting the religions of indigenous peoples and people of African descent. 33. OHCHR supported the organization of the Regional Conference of the Americas on the progress and challenges of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, which took place in Brasilia from 26 to 28 July 2006. The Conference addressed the question of the recognition of the cultures and religions of indigenous peoples and people of African descent. 34. Human rights education, as defined in international instruments, aims at sharing knowledge and developing skills and attitudes with a view to building a universal culture of human rights. Accordingly, it contributes to fostering respect for and appreciation of differences, as well as opposing discrimination on the basis of several grounds, including religion. To boost related efforts in all sectors, in 2004 the General Assembly adopted resolution 59/113 A proclaiming the World Programme for Human Rights Education. Its first phase (2005-2007) is specifically dedicated to the integration of human rights education into the primary and secondary school systems; the revised draft plan of action for the first phase (A/59/525/Rev.1) was adopted in July 2005 (resolution 59/113 B). The Plan of Action focuses on actions to be undertaken at the national level in terms of planning, implementing and evaluating human rights education in the national school systems. Information on activities undertaken by OHCHR in support of these efforts is provided in the report of the High Commissioner to the current session of the Council (A/HRC/4/85). 35. OHCHR received several communications reporting incidents or attempted incidents of desecration of religious sites in different regions. These communications were transmitted to the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief and the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
