A/HRC/28/81 stigmatization and confirm societal prejudices. INADI consequently published handbooks for journalists to avoid such stereotyping, and it also observed national broadcasting in order to analyse media content and issue recommendations. He underlined that in doing so, INADI was careful to avoid any infringements on the independence of media and the freedom of expression and opinion. 94. The delegate of Morocco inquired about the division of labour between INADI and the Ombudsman of Argentina. Mr. Mouratian explained that the Ombudsman, created following constitutional reform, had the main task of follow-up on individual complaints. While INADI and the Ombudsman cooperated on a number of issues, issues related to discrimination were automatically referred to INADI. 95. The representative of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela noted that INADI was setting a good example in the region. Venezuela had been learning from these good practices, and would soon be joining the network of national mechanisms to improve institutional cooperation and the exchange of experiences. The representative acknowledged the issue of racism in sport, supported further cooperation in that area, and fully supported the mandate of the Ad Hoc Committee to draw up international standards. 96. Brazil acknowledged its national-level cooperation with INADI, noting that several institutions for the promotion of racial equality, such as the SEPPIR existed in Brazil but pointed out that despite the close cooperation the two institutions also differed, in that they served different societies, with different populations. Brazil faced similar challenges regarding sports and football, as there were episodes of racism at Brazilian matches. A major team was expelled from national competition due to actions of supporters of that team. The delegate suggested that the Committee could further discuss this topic as a theme, and while perhaps not elaborate a standard, guidelines or plan of action could be considered. 97. A representative of the non-governmental organization “African Reporters for defence of human rights” complimented INADI for its work and noted that it was important for people of African descent to find their place in Argentinian society. The 1st of January 2015 marked the beginning of the Decade for People of African Descent, and he asked the expert to elaborate on any cases of discrimination that he had handled involving people of African descent. Mr. Mouratian replied that he had handled several such cases, highlighting the case of an Argentinian of African descent returning to Argentina with a valid passport, detained by immigrations officials who did not realize that there were Argentinians of African descent. 98. A representative of the non-governmental organization “Indian Council of South America” inquired about INADI activities to address issues concerning racial discrimination and violations of the right of self-determination of indigenous peoples. Mr. Mouratian replied that Argentina had taken steps to acknowledge its indigenous heritage. The 2006 Law on Expropriation of Land was an example in that regard, as it was an attempt to change the culture of the country. 99. The representative of Chile requested more information regarding the suspension of football matches, and inquired how INADI convinced football leagues to join human rights campaigns. The expert noted that discrimination in football was widespread, and confirmed that it was important to work with associations, and noting he importance of political decisions in that regard. In addition, cooperation with international agencies, such as UNICEF, was highly important and was responsible for good results. 100. In answer to questions from Morocco, the expert noted that INADI currently had 23 provincial offices in addition to its headquarters in Buenos Aires. He explained that resources were distributed according to needs in the country based on where discrimination was particularly prominent. 41
