A/HRC/34/50 that States codify and implement national legislation that provides robust and precise definitions of key terms, including hatred, discrimination, violence and hostility, drawing from the guidance and definitions provided in the Camden Principles on Freedom of Expression and Equality. The Rabat Plan of Action furthermore calls upon States that have anti-blasphemy laws to repeal them, since such laws stifle and unduly inhibit both the right to freedom of expression and the right to freedom of religion or belief. 19. The Special Rapporteur notes that the role of parliaments, the judiciary, the media and other national institutions are critical to the successful implementation of the Rabat Plan of Action and of Human Rights Council resolution 16/18. Parliaments occupy a particularly important role in paving the way for successful implementation of the plan of action. In order to promote equality and combat intolerance, States should establish independent national human rights institutions that comply with the Paris Principles and possess the capacity to engage effectively with civil society and help to guide interfaith dialogue. The plan of action also requires the involvement of an independent judiciary that can adjudicate cases of incitement to hatred, ensure that criminal sanction for speech is the exception and not the rule, and guarantee that efforts to secure compliance with the obligations deriving from article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by means of alternative measures, such as cultural dialogue and pluralism, are protected. An independent and objective media can play a critical role in fostering such a pluralistic environment as well. 20. The Special Rapporteur also welcomes the Fez process initiated by the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide at a meeting in Fez, Morocco, in April 2015. The initiative has the objective of preventing incitement to violence that could lead to atrocity crimes. The Fez declaration and draft plan of action identify a number of activities that community leaders representing different religions or beliefs could undertake to prevent and counter incitement to violence in situations that risk leading to atrocity crimes. These options, linked to paragraph 36 of Rabat Plan of Action, include engaging in dialogue with those who express radical views, countering online and offline incitement speech though unequivocal messaging, and supporting interfaith dialogue, education and activities that uphold respect for religious pluralism. The workshops that have been planned to roll out the Fez plan of action could make a vital contribution to implementing the positive measures identified in the Rabat Plan of Action, especially in countries that have experienced, or are currently experiencing, hate speech and incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence. For the Fez process to be effective in activating religious leaders in implementing the Rabat Plan of Action, however, it is axiomatic that the planned activities must be inclusive of all faith or belief communities. 21. The Special Rapporteur notes that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development presents an additional opportunity to advance respect for the right to freedom of religion or belief by mainstreaming this right within the context of development work. Given the intersections between freedom of religion and numerous other rights, such as gender equality on non-discrimination in access to services, there is clearly a need to increase religious freedom literacy within the community of development actors (a field in which numerous faith-based groups have traditionally been very active). This approach is supported by growing evidence of the links between respect for the right to freedom of religion or belief and prospects for societal harmony, economic prosperity and political stability. Such evidence contradicts narratives that equate societal harmony and peace with restrictive rather than inclusive practices. Over the past decade, there has been gradual engagement between various development agencies of the United Nations and faith-based groups through the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Engaging Faith-Based 8
