UN Resolutions on Combating the Defamation of Religions

Resolution (2003/4) on Combating the Defamation of
Religions

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has
issued a Resolution
(2003/4) on Combating the Defamation of Religions. The
Resolution "calls upon the international community to
initiate a global dialogue to promote a culture of
tolerance based on respect for human rights and
respect for religious diversity and urges the
States, non-governmental organizations, religious
bodies and the print and electronic media to support
and promote such a dialogue".

Particularly highlighted is the Muslim tradition,
which, since the events of 11th September 2001, has,
in some places, suffered from discrimination.
