Argymhelliad Cymreig clir
Dylai’r Llywodraeth gymryd pob cam angenrheidiol i atal a brwydro yn erbyn troseddau casineb hiliol a lleferydd casineb. Yn benodol, dylai’r Llywodraeth:
(a) Fabwysiadu a gweithredu cyfreithiau i frwydro yn erbyn troseddau casineb hiliol. Darparu hyfforddiant parhaus i swyddogion gorfodi’r gyfraith, barnwyr ac erlynwyr ar ymchwilio i droseddau casineb;
(b) Fabwysiadu strategaeth cyfryngau i fynd i’r afael â chyfrifoldeb newyddiadurwyr a darlledwyr i osgoi lleferydd casineb a stereoteipiau o leiafrifoedd. Dylai hefyd wirio papurau newydd a darlledwyr am gynnwys sy’n annog gwahaniaethu ar sail hil, casineb neu senoffobia;
(c) Annog adrodd am droseddau casineb hiliol drwy feithrin ymddiriedaeth y cyhoedd yn yr heddlu a’r system cyfiawnder. Amddiffyn dioddefwyr rhag dial a bygythiadau. Gwneud y weithdrefn adrodd yn dryloyw ac yn hygyrch;
(d) Ymchwilio i bob trosedd casineb hiliol y rhoddir gwybod amdani. Erlyn a chosbi’r cyflawnwyr gyda sancsiynau addas. Darparu atebion effeithiol i’r dioddefwyr a’u teuluoedd;
(e) Casglu data wedi’i ddadgyfuno ar droseddau casineb hiliol, gan gynnwys y rhai sydd â chymhellion croestoriadol. Sicrhau bod grwpiau yr effeithir arnynt yn helpu i ddatblygu mesurau i frwydro yn erbyn y troseddau hyn. Hefyd, cynnal asesiad effaith trylwyr o unrhyw gamau a gymerwyd.
(f) Cynyddu gwaith i frwydro yn erbyn lleferydd casineb hiliol ar y rhyngrwyd a chyfryngau cymdeithasol. Cydweithio â darparwyr rhyngrwyd, llwyfannau cyfryngau cymdeithasol, a chymunedau yr effeithir arnynt wrth wneud hyn;
(g) Gymryd camau i frwydro yn erbyn lleferydd casineb hiliol a senoffobia gan wleidyddion a’r cyhoedd, gan gynnwys ar-lein. Sicrhau ymchwiliad a chosb effeithiol o achosion o’r fath. Hefyd, rhaid i awdurdodau cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys uwch swyddogion, wrthod lleferydd casineb a senoffobia mewn trafodaethau gwleidyddol. Dylent wrthod yn gyhoeddus a chondemnio lleferydd casineb a syniadau hiliol;
(h) Dileu ei datganiad deongliadol ar Erthygl 4 o’r CERD a rhoi effaith lawn iddi.
Original UN recommendation
The Committee recommends that the State party take all measures necessary to prevent and firmly combat racist hate crimes and hate speech and, in particular, that it:
(a) Adopt a comprehensive legal framework to combat racist hate crimes, take effective measures to ensure its implementation and provide continuous training to law enforcement officials, judges and prosecutors on addressing and investigating hate crimes;
(b) Develop and adopt a media strategy addressing the responsibility of journalists and broadcasters to avoid the use of hate speech and stereotypes in describing minority communities, and closely and effectively scrutinize newspapers and broadcasters with respect to content that incites racial discrimination and hatred or strengthens xenophobic attitudes;
(c) Encourage the reporting of racist hate crimes by strengthening public trust in the police and the justice system, protecting victims from reprisals and intimidation and ensuring that the reporting procedure is transparent and accessible;
(d) Investigate all reported racist hate crimes, prosecute the perpetrators and punish them with sanctions commensurate with the gravity of the offence, and provide effective remedies to the victims and their families;
(e) Systematically collect disaggregated data on racist hate crimes, including cases involving intersectional motivations, ensure that measures to combat racist hate crimes are developed with the meaningful participation of affected groups, and undertake a thorough assessment of the impact of the measures adopted;
(f) Strengthen measures to combat the proliferation of racist hate speech on the Internet and on social media, in close cooperation with Internet service providers, social media platforms and the communities most affected by racist hate speech;
(g) Adopt comprehensive measures to discourage and combat racist hate speech and xenophobic discourse by political and public figures, including on the Internet, ensure that such cases are effectively investigated and sanctioned and ensure also that public authorities, including high-level public officials, distance themselves from hate speech and xenophobic political discourse and formally and publicly reject and condemn hate speech and the dissemination of racist ideas;
