A/HRC/37/77 Cross and Red Crescent Societies and that its third strategic aim was to promote social inclusion and a culture of non-violence and peace. He noted that the Federation provided long-term services to ensure social inclusion, non-discrimination and respect for diversity. 52. Mr. Saleem pointed to a number of examples where the Federation was engaged with local communities in building inclusive societies, such as in Finland where it had launched an anti-racism campaign in schools and developed the refugee buddy system whereby young people were encouraged to understand better the realities of life for migrants and refugees. Mr. Saleem underscored the importance of engaging young people as agents of behavioural change. B. Training and awareness-raising for law enforcement officials and the judiciary 53. The Secretary-General of the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights in France delivered her presentation on the training and awareness-raising practices used by the Commission to combat racism, and outlined several of the shortfalls and successes of those practices in France. She highlighted the importance of training in combating racism through a number of examples of French public policy in that regard. 54. Ms. Lafourcade welcomed efforts to diversify the support provided for training practices, such as thematic and practical workshops, training online and the dissemination of information by leaflets. However, she outlined a number of issues where there should be improvement. They included the constant updating of training practices and regular evaluation in order to check the efficiency of the training. Another important aspect she highlighted was the provision of training practices at the National School for the Judiciary for judges, prosecutors, clerks, police officers, police commissioners, prison governors and administrators of the National Assembly and the Senate. 55. Mr. Analian presented the activities undertaken by the Argentinian National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism on capacity-building and awarenessraising for the security forces and the judiciary. He noted that the Argentinian colonial past had fostered xenophobia and racism towards Africans, African descendants and people of Asian and indigenous origin, and that xenophobia also targeted specific socioeconomic groups in Argentina, such as migrants and asylum seekers from neighbouring countries. 56. He noted that the training provided by the Institute aimed to promote respect, the observance and development of anti-discriminatory practices, the protection of victims of discrimination, xenophobia and racism, and the implementation of a public policy which fostered inclusion and equality. 57. The representative of the European Union outlined the activities undertaken in this field, notably in engaging support for member States in developing a human rights-based approach to policy, policing and security. She also stressed that the European Union continued to support the work of relevant European Union agencies and referred to European Union legislation relevant to border management. 58. The representative of South Africa stated that the judiciary system needed to be effective and based on a set of values that protected human rights. VIII. Monitoring and investigation of hate speech and hate crime 59. Mr. Thornberry noted that in its general recommendation No. 35 (2013) on combating racist hate speech, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination had sought to contribute to the promotion of understanding, lasting peace and security among communities, peoples and States, bearing in mind that the prevalence of racist hate speech continued to represent a significant contemporary challenge. He noted that article 4 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination required States parties to declare as offences punishable by law all dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority and hatred, as well as incitement to racial discrimination or 8
