[ Tolerance and Non-discrimination ] Rabbi Andrew Baker, Personal Representative of the Chairperson-in-Office on Combating Anti-Semitism, speaks at the OSCE meeting on “Confronting Anti-Semitism in Public Discourse”, Prague, 23 March 2011. (OSCE/Jens Eschenbaecher) Responding to Anti-Semitism To support efforts by participating States to combat anti-Semitism and promote remembrance of the Holocaust, ODIHR has developed educational tools on addressing anti-Semitism and on Holocaust education. Beginning in 2004, the Office has developed these programmes in co-operation with a number of partners, including the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, the Yad Vashem International School of Holocaust Studies in Israel, and Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. ODIHR’s country-specific teaching materials on historical and contemporary anti-Semitism, including the history of the persecution of Jews in Europe, are used in 14 participating States. In 2011, ODIHR worked to improve the visibility of and accessibility to these teaching materials by preparing a web version, which will be uploaded to the Tolerance and Non-Discrimination Information System (TANDIS) website and the websites of partner institutions. In 2011, ODIHR compiled data to update Holocaust Memorial Days in the OSCE Region. The document, which was last updated in 2009 and provides a country-by-country overview of official commemorative activities in OSCE participating States on Holocaust remembrance days, will be available in 2012. ODIHR organized a high-level conference on combating anti-Semitism in public discourse on 23 and 24 March in Prague. The main objectives of the meeting were to increase understanding of intolerant discourse and its impact on security, to explore the role media may play in promoting tolerance and preventing hate crimes, and to identify practical measures to mitigate the problem. The event gathered more than 150 participants, who provided recommendations for participating States, NGOs and intergovernmental organizations. Responding to Intolerance against Muslims In October, ODIHR published Guidelines for Educators on Countering Intolerance and Discrimination against Muslims. The publication, which is the first international document of its kind, was developed in partnership with UNESCO and the Council of Europe to advise educators on how to confront intolerance and discrimination in schools. ODIHR also organized the “High-Level Meeting on Confronting Intolerance and Discrimination against Muslims in Public Discourse”, in co-operation with the 2011 OSCE Chairmanship, on 27 and 28 October in ODIHR Annual Report 2011 57
