Increase transparency with regard to their efforts to tackle incitement and
hate speech. Anonymized data sets regarding hate speech detection and moderation
should be public, regularly updated and disaggregated by protected characteristic.
Likewise, the training that content moderators receive should be made public.
The media should adopt guidelines for reporting on Muslims and Islam,
imbedding good practices that include avoiding stereotypes and generalizations,
portraying diversity and explaining context,213 and train journalists and other media
content producers accordingly.
Civil society, including faith-based actors, should promote interfaith engagement,
refrain from engaging in incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence against
persons based on religion or belief, oppose essentializing narratives about Muslims and
Islam, respect diversity and build solidarity.
The United Nations system should promote the involvement of civil society
organizations, including Muslim-led groups and women’s human rights groups, in the
design, implementation and oversight of responses aimed at preventing violent
extremism at the national, regional and global levels, through transparent and
participatory processes.214
Various organs of the United Nations system, including OHCHR, the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Alliance
of Civilizations, United Nations counter-terrorism entities and the Office of the Special
Adviser to the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide, should enhance their
efforts to collaborate and cooperate with relevant special procedure mandate holders
in order to undertake joint action to address discrimination, hostility and violence
emanating from Islamophobia.
