The Committee underlines that article 4 (b) requires that racist organizations which promote and incite racial discrimination be declared illegal and prohibited. The Committee understands that the reference to "organized…propaganda activities" implicates improvised forms of organization or networks, and that "all other propaganda activities" may be taken to refer to unorganized or spontaneous promotion and incitement of racial discrimination.
