High Level Forum on Anti-Muslim Discrimination and Hatred

The European Union, together with Canada, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the United States, co-organised at the United Nations headquarters a High Level Forum on Combating Anti-Muslim Discrimination and Hatred on 17 January 2017 in New York.

The Forum’s main message was to promote diversity as a richness instead of a threat, to fight against all forms of discrimination, and to build bridges between different communities. Organisers and participants must work together to offer holistic responses to discrimination and hatred at the international, regional and national levels.
