GENERAL READING
If
we are to raise the level of society by eliminating racial/ethnic
discrimination; promoting equality and good relations between people
from
diverse racial/ethic groups we need to be educated about the law and
people's rights. Here you find some publications to help you on your
way.
GENERAL
READING

Lawrence Inquiry Report Index"

Antisemitism is not a static phenomena.
It constantly evolves over time. The "European
Union Agency for Fundamental Rights" (EUAFR) has published a,
"Working
Definition of Antisemitism", which is a guide to the current
manifestations of this destructive prejudice. If this
link breaks contact us and we will email you a copy.
The EUAFR
has
also
published, "Muslims
in the European Union - Discrimination and Islamophobia".
Again, if this link breaks contact
us and we will email you a copy.
This EUAFR
publication is also a worthwhile read - "Using
the
Internet for Intercultural Training", 2003.
The above "EUAFR"
is an all round excellent source of
information regarding ethnic minorities living in the EU.

GENERAL
ADVICE
Here you will
find general advice such as what to do when you see racially offensive
material on the Internet.
Here is a guide to the law in England and Wales as of
February 2002: "Racially
Inflammatory Material on the Internet". This
document is already
getting on for 6 years old so it is likely to be out of date regarding
the current state of the law. Make you complaint here: The Internet
Watch Foundation (but
only after
you have read the above guide).
The Internet Watch Foundation is an
incorporated charity so I recommend you contact the Charity
Commission if you feel that the IWF is not taking your
complaint sufficently seriously.
Even better
than contacting the IWF is to report instances of
illegal activity (such as incitement to hatred) to the police
directly via this website or
the Home Office department responsible for policing and crime, via this
website. Good luck.
