A/HRC/40/75 (p) Acknowledges that, among others, the media and other principal actors have a crucial role to play in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Certain media, by promoting false images and negative stereotypes of vulnerable individuals or groups of individuals, particularly of migrants and refugees, have contributed to the spread of xenophobic and racist sentiments among the public and in some cases have encouraged violence by racist individuals and groups. 2.
