Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>The UN General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution designed to combat Islamophobia.<\/p>\n

With a vote taking place on the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, the “Measures to combat Islamophobia” resolution passed with 115 votes in favor, 44 abstentions, and none against.<\/p>\n

Pakistan spearheaded the resolution, signaling a united front among Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states in tackling Islamophobia on the international stage.<\/p>\n

The resolution calls for the appointment of a UN special envoy to combat Islamophobia. It further urges member states to take decisive action against religious intolerance, particularly targeting Islamophobia.<\/p>\n

It also requests the UN secretary-general submit a report on the implementation of the measures and efforts to combat Islamophobia at the General Assembly this fall.<\/p>\n

Last July, the UN adopted a resolution condemning Quran burning, calling attacks on the Muslim holy book “religious hatred.” The same month the UN General Assembly passed a resolution that deplores all acts of violence against holy books as a violation of international law.<\/p>\n

The definition of attacks against the Quran as religious hatred and violation of international law lays the groundwork for future steps to be taken.<\/p>\n
