A/HRC/40/44 M. Making a strong effort to counter religious profiling, which is understood to be the invidious use of religion as a criterion in conducting questioning, searches and other law enforcement investigative procedures18 75. Italy reported that basic legislation concerning the administration of public security activities expressly prohibited data collection on the grounds of race, religion, political opinion, adhesion to trade unions, cooperatives and care and cultural associations, and membership in such organizations. The Anti-crime General Directorate of the Police coordinated education and training for police officers, especially those working within the justice system. Since 2013, a specific module on discriminatory profiling in police activities had been introduced into training programmes run by the Observatory for Security against Discrimination to increase the awareness of police officers. 76. Italy reported that cases of discrimination against beneficiaries of international protection were increasing in Italy. Direct or indirect discriminatory actions were directed against asylum seekers, beneficiaries of international protection, foreign unaccompanied minors and more broadly against women and foreign minors. The national integration plan, approved in September 2018, provided specific training to social services and medical personnel, such as social workers, civil registry officials, medical doctors, nurses and municipal and State police. Proposed by the National Anti-Racial Discrimination Office, another specific anti-discrimination initiative, funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, had been launched. It was aimed at encouraging municipalities and other territorial bodies to join the national network of anti-discrimination centres preventing and combating ethnic and racial discrimination in the provision of public utilities, which were sponsored by the National Anti-Racial Discrimination Office; an awareness-raising and information campaign for third country nationals who were possible victims of discrimination; specific training for civil servants; and measures to prevent and combat discrimination. III. Activities undertaken by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in support of implementation of the action plan 77. In addition to the actions reflected above, OHCHR works on the various dimensions of religious intolerance, including multiple discrimination, xenophobia, migration, religious freedom, religious profiling and incitement to racial, national or religious hatred. 78. The High Commissioner for Human Rights has spoken out in various public forums, including the Human Rights Council. Upon request, OHCHR reviews draft antidiscrimination laws and constitutional amendments and has supported several countries and specialized bodies in developing national action plans against racism. 79. OHCHR manages a database that includes information on issues of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. 19 It also develops guidelines and training manuals for judges and conducts training related to the points in the action plan outlined in Human Rights Council resolution 37/38. Through its field presences, related activities have taken place in countries including Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Senegal and Tunisia and with journalists from the Russian Federation, Ukraine and West Africa, to counter xenophobia and hate speech. 80. From 6 to 7 December 2017, the Rabat+5 Symposium offered an opportunity for stakeholders to engage with experts who had contributed to the elaboration of the Rabat Plan of Action and the 18 commitments on Faith for Rights and to exchange experiences in the area of combating violence on the basis of religion.
