Interfaith dialogue, consultation and exchange can play an important role in promoting respect and good relationships between faith groups. Often this co-operation works best when it is practical and action-orientated. I would like to share an example from the UK to illustrate this. On 24 September, during an OSCE meeting, the UK hosted an event to share best practice from a case study of co-operation between faith communities and the government, in combating hate crime in the UK. The partnership of two UK NGOs, the Community Security Trust and Faith Matters, who work primarily with Jewish and Muslim communities, provided a positive example of civil society working with government to monitor and combat hate crime. Discrimination, which affects religious minorities, is rarely only restricted to one specific faith community. Often where one group suffers, others are not normally far behind. This means that any response by governments should be holistic. The UK believes that states should promote freedom of religion of belief as a universal human right, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
