countermeasures against the malicious or racist remarks on-line which disperse
fake news about an individual or a group or hatred for refugees or foreign
nationals. Policies should be in place to facilitate people's awareness of higher
social costs arising from conflicts due to worsening racism in the society,
followed by education and information which helps monitor and prevent racial
discrimination across the society.

166. Investigation into violation on human rights and discriminatory treatment is
usually launched when a complaint is filed. Not only a victim but also any
third party, including a person or an organization, who knows of the
misconduct, can file a complaint. Once filed, the case is reviewed to decide
whether it falls under the violation of human rights or discrimination. When it
does, the NHRCK advises the accused person or his/her supervisory institution
to adopt necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of an incident and
restore any ensuing damage.
