A/HRC/40/44 39. The United Kingdom reported that its legislative framework protected individuals and groups from being the target of religiously motivated hatred, including incitement to religiously motivated hatred. The framework is supported by a cross-Government hate crime action plan, which includes funding support for community-led projects in schools and places of worship aimed at tackling prejudice, and setting up ongoing funding for dedicated anti-Muslim hatred reporting and victim support organization. Government funding is also provided for security measures at places of worship across the different faiths in Britain, with hundreds of faith institutions having benefited from this to date. The government work to combat hate against different faiths is supported by high-level working groups from the major faith groups made up of eminent representatives from civil society, business and academia. 40. On this particular topic, OHCHR works with States and other stakeholders on substantive support for implementing international standards and practical measures at the national level. For example, OHCHR has supported the organization of relevant training and meetings in Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Senegal and Tunisia, and with media professionals from the Russian Federation, Ukraine and West Africa.
