The New Vision is at the forefront of confronting Islamophobia and has established an observatory at the OIC General Secretariat to monitor and report on the phenomenon as well as to cooperate with Governmental and Non-Governmental entities in countering it.   Through its UN Mission in Geneva and New York and in cooperation with the UN, European Union and the Human Rights Council, the OIC continues its efforts to promote the adoption of a draft resolution to prevent instances of religious intolerance.

Additionally, initiatives towards the adoption of an international resolution against Islamophobia by the UN are also ongoing and the OIC has encouraged all States to enact laws to counter Islamophobia and punish those who propagate it. The UN General Assembly has already issued a Resolution in its 61st Session on combating the disparaging of religions.  This Resolution places particular emphasis on the need to take effective measures to prevent tarnishing the image of any religion in general, and Islam and Muslim in particular, specifically in the arena of human rights.

Through utilizing the mass media and the internet, OIC Member States have undertaken initiatives to broadcast programs in Western States to clarify misperceptions pertaining to the image of Islam and also project the views of the Islamic Ummah on world affairs. Additionally, structured and sustained dialogue been policymakers in the Islamic World and the West, particularly Parliamentary Groups and Islamic Institutions, are also taking place to promote inter-religious and inter-civilizational dialogue and diminish mistrust and misunderstanding of Islam. Additionally, to promote the acceptance of Islam in Western countries, the ICCI has established a neutral network of Westerners with work experience in Muslim countries to propagate an unbiased understanding of the religion in their respective societies.
