A/HRC/32/20 accountability in the management of funds. The Government of Finland developed a national report reviewing past practices with a view to strengthening implementation of future democracy policy. 56 63. Independent media regulatory bodies can help to assure pluralism and independence and guard against incitement to hatred and other abuses. This is the case of the independent media regulatory body of Tunisia, the Haute autorité indépendante de la communication audiovisuelle, which was established by the Constitution and bases its work on international human rights standards. In 2014, a civil society network to monitor incitement to hatred in the regional media was created in Tunisia, with support from OHCHR, in accordance with the Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence (see A/HCR/22/17/Add.4). E. Long-term support and resources for civil society organizations57 64. States can create and maintain an enabling environment for civic activity by investing in the development of civil society, taking measures to build participation capacities, especially for marginalized voices, and facilitating access to diverse funding sources and technology. Empowering and strengthening civil society capacities contribute to a protective environment (A/HRC/31/55). 1. Education, awareness-raising and training Human rights education 65. Equipping children and young people with information and skills to participate in public life contributes to the growth of civil society space. 66. Human rights education programmes and resources are produced by States, academic institutions, national human rights institutions and civil society, often in partnership. Benefits are optimized when teachers receive ongoing training in civic or human rights education and when the substantive curriculum is complemented by a school culture which encourages tolerance and values diversity. 67. Bearing in mind the receptiveness of very young children, investment in civic education should begin in primary school, with support from the home environment. In Finland, measures to encourage young people to become more engaged in societal affairs have involved strengthening education in democracy, equality and human rights and the introduction of a postgraduate degree in civil society. 68. Joint awareness campaigns by Governments, national human rights institutions and civil society can encourage political participation or engagement to combat racism and other forms of discrimination. An example is the anti-racism campaign in Australia. Creative campaigns using different media and championed by multiple sectors of society, including well-known personalities, can change public behaviours, combat stigmatization and create an environment where people feel that it is safe to speak out. 56 57 14 Human Rights Centre, Finland.
