UNGA adopts resolution deeming violence against holy books illegal

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a decision, which deems all acts of violence in opposition to holy books as a violation of worldwide regulation, amid repeated provocative assaults on the Muslim holy e book Quran in Denmark and Sweden.

Muslim leaders and politicians have confused that such desecrations and provocations aren’t coated by freedom of expression legal guidelines.

The 193-member General Assembly adopted the decision drafted by Morocco by consensus.

It strongly deplored ”all acts of violence in opposition to individuals on the premise of their faith or perception, in addition to any such acts directed in opposition to their non secular symbols, holy books, properties, companies, properties, colleges, cultural facilities or locations of worship, in addition to all assaults on and in non secular locations, websites and shrines in violation of worldwide regulation.”

On July 12, the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council additionally condemned latest assaults on the Quran regardless of Western nations’ votes in opposition to the decision.

The decision referred to as for condemnation of assaults focusing on the Quran and described them as ”acts of non secular hatred.”
