In light of these considerations, the Assembly recommends
the Committee of Ministers to:
4.1 consider
the activities in the field of intercultural dialogue and its religious
dimension as a priority, and allocate appropriate resources for
them so as to ensure that they are properly carried out and publicised;
4.2 support and allocate appropriate resources for activities
in the field of integration of immigrants and persons with an immigrant
background, including specific activities for encouraging integration
and tolerance among young people;
4.3 further to the letter of intent signed by the Secretary
General of the Council of Europe and the High Representative for
the Alliance of Civilizations, support the conclusion of a memorandum
of understanding between the Council of Europe and the Alliance
of Civilizations;
4.4 increase co-operation in the field of intercultural and
inter-religious dialogue with the United Nations and its specialised
agencies, the European Union, and in particular the institutions
of the Barcelona Process, the Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe (OSCE) and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference;
4.5 invite ECRI and the Council of Europe Commissioner for
Human Rights to conduct specific research on the situation of Muslim
communities in Europe, including examples of good practice of co-operation
between Muslim organisations and the authorities in combating extremism
both within Muslim communities and originating from Muslim communities.
