A/HRC/43/72 77. OHCHR has engaged with national and international organizations working to combat antisemitism. As a member of the working group on the United Nations strategy and plan of action on hate speech, OHCHR is currently drafting its own strategy on hate speech. 78. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has spoken out on issues of freedom of religion and belief relevant to the many topics contained in the action plan, in various public forums, including at the Second Global Summit on Religion, Peace and Security, held in Geneva from 29 April to 1 May 2019. On that occasion, the High Commissioner highlighted the importance of protecting religious minorities, particularly those targeted through incitement to hatred and violence. 26 79. In August 2019, the High Commissioner addressed the Security Council, in an Arria formula meeting, on advancing the safety and security of persons belonging to religious minorities in armed conflicts, stressing that efforts to protect minorities must begin before conflicts erupt and that it is important to collect data disaggregated by religion and ethnicity. Referring to the Rabat Plan of Action, she emphasized the role of politicians and religious leaders in preventing and speaking out against intolerance, discriminatory stereotyping and hate speech. IV. Observations and views on potential follow-up measures for further improvement of the implementation of the action plan 80. The action plan adopted by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 40/25 and similar General Assembly resolutions adopted by consensus provide guidance for collective action to counter religious discrimination and intolerance. Greater efforts are required to promote the implementation of the practical actions contained in those resolutions. 81. As stressed in several prior reports of the High Commissioner to the Human Rights Council and of the Secretary-General to the General Assembly, there is a need to improve the overall number of contributions received from States and the regional geographic participation.27 82. During 2019, OHCHR reviewed the 12 reports on the action plan submitted between 2012 and 2019 pursuant to the relevant resolutions of the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly. It found that about 30 per cent of all Member States had sent contributions for the reports of the High Commissioner to the Human Rights Council between 2014 and 2019.28 On average, 9 per cent of Member States (equal to 19 States) submitted contributions for each report. 83. Similarly, about 34 per cent of all Member States contributed to the reports of the Secretary-General to the General Assembly between 2012 and 2019 and on average 9 per cent of States (equal to 17 States) submitted contributions for each report to the General Assembly. In one year, only five contributions were received from States. 84. A significant majority of Member States never submitted a single contribution. Those that did submitted a contribution in respect of either the report of the High Commissioner or the report of the Secretary-General; very rarely was a contribution submitted for both in any given year. Over the entire period reporting has been sporadic, with only one or two States reporting more or less consistently to both reports. 26 27 28 14 https://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=24531&LangID=E.
