A/HRC/19/60 15. On 10 March 2011, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the mandate, the Special Rapporteur launched a reference e-book with observations and recommendations by the four mandate holders who have served as Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief since 1986. The Rapporteur’s Digest on Freedom of Religion or Belief4 is a 108-page downloadable compilation of relevant excerpts from thematic and country-specific reports produced by Angelo d‟Almeida Ribeiro (serving from March 1986 to March 1993), Abdelfattah Amor (serving from April 1993 to July 2004), Asma Jahangir (serving from August 2004 to July 2010) and Heiner Bielefeldt (serving since August 2010). On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, the Special Rapporteur delivered a speech at a conference in Oxford on “New Frontiers of Protection of Freedom of Religion or Belief under International Law”. D. Application of a gender perspective 16. The Special Rapporteur has continued to apply a gender perspective, inter alia, through the identification of gender-specific abuses, in the reporting process, including in information collection and in recommendations. One of the key concerns raised includes allegations of forced conversion of women, especially if they belong to religious minorities. 17. The Special Rapporteur‟s latest interim report submitted to the General Assembly (A/66/156) also highlights the important role of women when the State is promoting interreligious communication. In his statement to the Third Committee of the General Assembly on 20 October 2011, the Special Rapporteur emphasized that substantive and substantial participation by women in formal interreligious dialogue projects should be a priority in order to address the current imbalance in the composition of high-level interreligious dialogue events where women tend to be marginalized. 5 E. Working with mass-media organizations to promote an atmosphere of respect and tolerance for religious and cultural diversity, as well as multiculturalism 18. In Vienna (9 and 10 February 2011), Nairobi (6 and 7 April 2011) and Santiago de Chile (12 and 13 October 2011), the Special Rapporteur participated in three expert workshops on the prohibition of incitement to national, racial or religious hatred. The series of workshops, organized by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, was aimed at gaining a better understanding of legislative patterns, judicial practices and policies with regard to the concept of incitement to national, racial or religious hatred, while also ensuring full respect for freedom of expression as outlined in articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 19. The Special Rapporteur presented to the regional workshops joint submissions with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.6 During the workshops the Special 4 5 6 Available from www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Religion/RapporteursDigestFreedomReligionBelief.pdf.
