A/HRC/6/6 page 3 Finally, the Special Rapporteur recommends the adoption of approaches to promote dialogue between cultures, civilizations and religions that take into consideration: (a) The need to provide equal treatment to the combat of all forms of defamation of religions, thus avoiding the establishment of any hierarchy of forms of discrimination, even though their specificity and intensity may vary according to history, geography and culture; (b) The historical and cultural depth of all forms of defamation of religions and, therefore, the need to complement legal strategies with an intellectual and ethical strategy taking into account the processes, mechanisms and representations which constitute the root causes of these forms of discrimination over time; (c) The fundamental link between the spiritual, historical and cultural singularity of each form of defamation of religions and the universality of their underlying causes; (d) The creation of conditions facilitating the encounter, dialogue and joint action for social harmony, peace, human rights, development and combat against all forms of racism, discrimination and xenophobia of all religions and spiritual traditions.
