Origin - 2014 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 8.2.4, replace the words "and anti-Semitism" with the following words:

", anti-Semitism and Islamophobia".

Explanatory note

I would like to lay emphasis on the fact that although xenophobic parties and ideologies challenge immigration policies and multi ehtnic society as a whole, most of their hostility is focused on Muslim immigrants. In many cases xenophobia, racism and neo-nazism have transformed into anti-Islamism.
