197. Lastly, the Special Rapporteur believes that education and interfaith dialogue can
provide relevant frameworks for all government and non-governmental initiatives relating to
observance of the twentieth anniversary of the 1981 Declaration in 2001. The Special
Rapporteur reiterates his recommendation that a Web page should be set up on the site of the
Office of the High Commissioner to keep the public informed and provide a forum for
suggestions, plans and messages regarding this event. In particular, the Special Rapporteur
invites religious and faith-based communities and anyone with an interest in human rights to
send him suggestions (for example, international, regional or national seminars and art
exhibitions) of ways to celebrate the 1981 Declaration. This anniversary will provide an
opportunity to take stock of the 20 years that have elapsed since the Declaration and set a course
for the twenty-first century.
