Linked to the Beirut Declaration are 18 commitments on “Faith for Rights”, with corresponding follow-up actions. These include the commitments:

• to prevent the use of the notion of “State religion” to discriminate against any individual or group;
• to revisit religious interpretations that appear to perpetuate gender inequality and harmful stereotypes or even condone gender-based violence;
• to stand up for the rights of all persons belonging to minorities;
• to publicly denounce all instances of advocacy of hatred that incites to violence, discrimination or hostility;
• to monitor interpretations, determinations or other religious views that manifestly conflict with universal human rights norms and standards;
• to refrain from oppressing critical voices and to urge States to repeal any existing anti-blasphemy or anti-apostasy laws;
• to refine the curriculums, teaching materials and textbooks; and
• to engage with children and youth who are either victims of or vulnerable to incitement to violence in the name of religion.
