E/CN.4/1995/91 page 7 As in his previous report, the Special Rapporteur has endeavoured, as the terms of Commission resolution 1994/18 require, to make full use of credible and reliable information provided to him, while exercising the necessary impartiality, independence and discretion. In order to do so, he has drawn on a very broad range of governmental and non-governmental sources, of very varied geographical origins, and comprising both organizations and individuals. He has also spoken with the representatives of some Governments and a number of non-governmental organizations. He has taken due account of information from religious groups and denominational communities. He has given priority to the use of recent information covering the period since the Commission’s previous session. However, in the case of situations mentioned for the first time or of problems, the origins or the manifestations of which go back a number of years, he has sometimes made use of earlier information and referred to it. The information gathered is also used specifically to document religious intolerance. It should be made clear that the dialogue established with Governments by the Special Rapporteur and the transmittal of allegations concerning their countries in no way implies any kind of accusation or value judgement, but rather a request for clarification with a view to finding, along with the Government concerned, a solution to a problem which goes to the very heart of fundamental rights and freedoms. In accordance with his mandate, and in application of paragraph 14 of resolution 1994/18, in which the Commission encourages the Special Rapporteur to examine the contribution that education can make to the more effective promotion of religious tolerance, he has undertaken consultations with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Bureau of Education (IBE) with a view to benefiting from their experience and expertise in this field and exchanging views. The Special Rapporteur visited UNESCO in Paris on 2 and 3 June 1994. There he gathered information and relevant documentation concerning programmes for the teaching of human rights. He also discussed the possibility of preparing a questionnaire on problems concerning freedom of religion and belief in educational establishments and requested their cooperation in that respect. Following these consultations, the Special Rapporteur prepared the questionnaire (contained in the annex) and sent it to the Governments on 27 October 1994 (see chap. IV). The Special Rapporteur held similar consultations with IBE. He also sent the forty-fourth session of the International Conference on Education a proposal for a special paragraph to be inserted in the text intended to modify, replace or be added to the 1974 Recommendation on international education, in the event that the Conference should decide to revise the text or make additions. The paragraph is as follows: "Urges all States to take all appropriate measures to combat hatred, religious intolerance and acts of violence, including those motivated by religious extremism, and to encourage understanding, tolerance and respect in matters relating to freedom of religion or belief".
