General Discussion and Closing of the UN Secretary-General's Global conference on interfaith and interreligious dialogue and tolerance for countering hate speech pursuant to resolution 77/318.

This is why mobilizing against hatred of all kinds is a key priority for the United Nations, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and international human rights.

In this context, pursuant to United Nations General Assembly resolutions A/RES/77/318 and A/RES/79/316, as well as General Assembly decision 80/542, the United Nations is convening a Global Conference on Promoting Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue and Tolerance in Countering Hate Speech at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Thursday, 17 September.
