A/HRC/31/18 85. States should prevent or overcome a climate of impunity, in which intolerant groups may feel encouraged to commit acts of discrimination, hostility or violence against persons based on their religion or belief. 86. Legislation aimed at prohibiting incitement to acts of hatred needs to be precisely defined, in line with the criteria set out in articles 18 (3), 19 (3) and 20 (2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and further developed in Human Rights Committee general comment No. 34 and the Rabat Plan of Action. Such legislation should not contain provisions aimed at sanctioning those claiming superiority of certain religions or beliefs. 2. Recommendations addressed to different stakeholders 87. Interreligious communication should accommodate the diversity of interreligious and intrareligious positions as different formats of “formal” or “informal” communication may complement each other in this regard. Broad engagement with people from different age, gender, ethnic and indigenous groups will enhance the dialogues and overcoming the underrepresentation of women must be a priority. 88. All relevant stakeholders should cooperate in developing a culture of public discourse in accordance with the Camden Principles on Freedom of Expression and Equality by addressing and discussing problems openly, hence exposing negative experiences of interreligious coexistence to counter-evidence and counter-narratives. This can help prevent the spread of rumours and their escalation to fully fledged conspiracy projections. 89. Civil society organizations are encouraged to show public solidarity with targeted individuals or communities, including by mobilizing public demonstrations against entrepreneurs of hatred. 90. National human rights institutions are encouraged to use the Rabat Plan of Action when designing national policies of combating incitement to acts of hatred. 3. Recommendations addressed to the international community 91. The international community should continue to cooperate within the Istanbul Process which aims at the systematic implementation of Human Rights Council resolution 16/18. The Rabat Plan of Action should serve as an interpretative tool in this regard. National human rights institutions and civil society organizations should participate in exchanges on how to implement resolution 16/18 and the Rabat Plan of Action. 92. Commitment of States towards Human Rights Council resolution 16/18 should become a systematic element of the interactive dialogues within the universal periodic review. The international community should continue to monitor the situations of prisoners of conscience and advocate for their release. 21
