A/HRC/19/60/Add.2 (c) To cease without delay practices of detaining persons objecting on grounds of religion or conscience to military service, as well as to develop rules for alternative service for such conscientious objectors; (d) To rescind without delay rules barring religious communities from public communication for 10 years after their formal registration; (e) To end without delay the practices of stopping missionaries from working at the local level. B. Recommendations for religious communities and their leaders 88. Taking into account the impact of religious leaders on their communities, the Special Rapporteur encourages all such leaders to take a public position that embraces diversity, favours interreligious respect and defuses existing or emerging tensions between different groups. 89. Members of religious or belief communities have a role to play in supporting and encouraging religious tolerance and ensuring that all people in the Republic of Moldova can effectively enjoy their freedom of religion or belief. In this context, the Special Rapporteur encourages in particular people holding moderate views to participate in the national debate on freedom of religion or belief and nondiscrimination. 90. Interreligious and intra-religious dialogue is vital for creating an atmosphere of appreciation of diversity in society. It should not only include religious leaders but should also involve initiatives taken at the grass-roots level. C. Recommendations for the international community 91. The Special Rapporteur encourages the United Nations in the Republic of Moldova to continue to support the efforts of the Government to ensure the respect for freedom of religion or belief and, in this context, to support the implementation of the recommendations made in the present report. 92. The Special Rapporteur also encourages other international agencies operating in the Republic of Moldova, such as the Council of Europe, the European Union and OSCE, to support the implementation of the recommendations made in the present report. 21
