As discrimination, hate speech and identity-based violence continue to rise globally, a group of diplomats, UN officials, religious leaders and civil society representatives gathered in New York to reflect on how interreligious dialogue, grounded in human rights, can strengthen peaceful coexistence and prevent violence.
