Ms. Rishmawi stated that the High Commissioner for Human Rights and her Office were determined to build on the momentum gained from the Durban Review Conference and, in this regard, strengthen the anti-racism programme of the Office. Ms. Rishmawi noted that in May 2009, an in-house task force on Durban follow-up was established. The task force recommended a programme that included the following components: supporting Durban follow-up mechanisms; building national capacity to combat racism, discrimination and intolerance; strengthening awareness-raising, including by carrying out expert seminars; enhancing research, analysis and the collection of good practices; and facilitating the integration of the anti-racism agenda in United Nations activities. The need for additional resources for the Office, in order to implement such a comprehensive programme, was highlighted. 9.
