A/HRC/55/47 (i) Contribute actively and in good faith in sharing challenges, experiences and lessons learned with other States, including through the Istanbul Process for Combating Intolerance, Discrimination and Incitement to Hatred and/or Violence on the Basis of Religion or Belief; (j) Engage with transnational advocacy networks, including the media, civil society organizations and religious or belief communities and minorities, to address hate speech with ongoing vigilance; (k) Adopt legislation prohibiting advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, in accordance with article 20 (2) of the Covenant; this should be informed by the breadth of thought, conscience, religion or belief, as understood in article 18 of the Covenant, and incidents should be assessed carefully, on a case-by-case basis, with the benefit of the guidance of the Rabat Plan of Action. 63. The Special Rapporteur recommends that non-State actors: (a) Engage in transnational advocacy networks to address hate speech with ongoing vigilance, giving special attention to the targets of hate speech and therefore the importance of engaging with individuals and communities belonging to religious or belief minorities; (b) Prevent, mitigate and counter hate speech in traditional media and social media and ensure the right of reply to those who are targeted in such hate speech on grounds of their religion or belief; (c) Encourage interfaith responses for allyship and solidarity with those who are targeted on grounds of their religion or belief; speaking collaboratively in such counter-speech and conveying positives messages of support may provide strong societal resilience against hate speech; (d) Refrain from using messages of intolerance and expressions that instrumentalize religions or beliefs or their followers to incite violence, hostility, discrimination, hatred or violence, for example for electoral purposes or political gain; (e) Publicly denounce all instances of advocacy of religious hatred that incites violence, discrimination or hostility; discernment must be used in distinguishing State and non-State actors as speakers, malicious intermediaries or targets, as this has an impact on response strategies; (f) Stand up for the human rights of all persons belonging to minorities and defend their freedom of religion or belief, as well as their right to participate equally and effectively in cultural, religious, social, economic and public life.
