We appreciate the establishment of the new Interfaith Harmony Division after June 30 headed by a federal minister, following the devolution of the Ministry of Minorities to the provinces under the 18th Amendment. We therefore support Draft Recommendations 53 thru 56 on the issues related to interfaith dialogues, consultation and exchange visits. We believe that now is the time for the Government of Pakistan to effectively implement those recommendations. Finally, we urge the Government of Pakistan through this forum to: 1. To adopt measures to ensure the opportunities for constructive interfaith dialogues, consultation and cross faith exchange programs for youth. 2. Invest more in Capacity Building for Peace Building and Advocacy for youths and Children as to ensure notions of non-discriinination are instilled while minds are young and before prejudices have settled down. 3. To ban hate speeches against religious minorities. 4. To invite the UN Independent Expert on Minority Issues and the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of religion or belief to make a country visit. Thank you very muck for your kind attention. htt ://www.asiaiiews.itfnews-en/Lahore,-mor e-than-100-Christian-homes-burned-over-blas i hemv-ehar ae27347.html See the report of Amnesty International at htp://wwvv.arriliesty,oreerilf authorities-must-do-more-proteet-hazara-communitv-deadiv-attacks-2.
