A/HRC/6/10 page 17 76. Mr. Anwar focused on human rights education and the strong recommendation that religious schools should teach human rights education, which would increase understanding and could help to prevent misunderstanding and hatred. 77. Serguei Lazarev of UNESCO took the floor to comment on the readiness of that body to elaborate and/or to contribute to the elaboration of a human rights instrument on education to combat racism. He also emphasized that the experience accumulated by UNESCO over the years in that particular area put it in a favourable position regarding the elaboration of such an instrument. He also referred to the role of publications on education and human rights, and listed various books published by UNESCO. 78. The Chairman of the group of experts addressed some of the questions from the delegates. In particular, he stated that the recognition by States under article 14 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination on the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications from individuals or groups of individuals within its jurisdiction could improve the implementation of the Convention. He also expressed the view that the development of national action plans would make an important contribution in combating racism. With regard to the impression that the selection of some of the issues examined in the study was arbitrary, he explained that the theme on multiple forms of discrimination was proposed by the Working Group in the conclusions of the Chairman at its fourth session and that the experts had simply followed the guidelines in paragraph 2 of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. 79. The Chairman made concluding remarks and thanked the experts for the work performed on an extremely complex subject. He stated that it was important to decide what was to be done in the future. A starting point would be to read through the two studies in more detail, as they were very dense texts. He also stated that, pursuant to Human Rights Council decision 3/103, he would transmit the study to the Ad Hoc Committee of the Human Rights Council on the Elaboration of Complementary Standards to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. First part of the session CONCLUSIONS National action plans 80.
