(1) The big picture
On 30 September the PACE adopted Recommendation 2052 in which it asks the Committee of Ministers to, inter
alia, support the initiative by the youth campaign and declare the day of the terrorist attack in Oslo and at Utøya,
22 July, the European Day for Victims of Hate Crime.
The NHSM Petition to make 22 July European Day for Victims of Hate Crime has now been signed by 3677
people. We encourage more signatures in order to support this Recommendation - the more people sign, the
better chances of succeeding in obtaining the declaration by the Committee of Ministers. Have you invited your
colleagues to sign it?
The President of the Assembly, Anne Brasseur, also endorsed the proposal of the Speaker of the Norwegian
parliament Olemic Thommessen for all parliaments to support this initiative. In this context, a “Living Library”
was inaugurated on 30 September in the presence of PACE President Anne Brasseur, the Speaker of the
Norwegian Parliament Olemic Thommessen and CoE Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland.
For two days, the PACE parliamentarians could borrow a “book” for 20 minutes, outside the Hemicycle where the
PACE autumn session took place, with the difference that these books were people, some of whom have faced
discrimination and hate in their lives, e.g. refugees and Roma. National Campaign Coordinator from Norway,
Eirik Rise, was one of the books. Another book was Lina “the young muslim”. And yet others were those who, in
the past, had been part of Neo Nazi groups and had propagated discrimination but are now reformed Podcast –
Neo-Nazism and me. [Photos]
The FORUM of the Movement was held on 1-5 October in Gabala, Azerbaijan. The 250 participants shared
experiences and challenges in campaigning for human rights online and prepared plans and proposals for the
remaining 6 months of the campaign. A Message from the Forum to the Council of Europe sums up the
expectations placed by participants – activists, national coordinators and partners – on the Council of Europe and
the member states to respond to the challenges and issues faced by the campaign. The Forum was held in the
framework of the Azerbaijan chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers and co-organised with the Ministry of
Youth and Sport of Azerbaijan, in close cooperation with the National Assembly of Youth Organisations of the
Republic of Azerbaijan. Many thanks to the Ministry of Youth and Sport for their unconditional support to the

incite, promote or justify racial hatred, xenophobia, antisemitism or other forms of hatred based on intolerance, including:

and people of immigrant origin. For the purpose of the campaign, other forms of discrimination and prejudice, such as antigypsyism, christianophobia, islamophobia, misogyny, sexism and discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and
gender identity fall clearly within the scope of hate speech.
