Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa, has warned the international community against meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign states, saying each country is entitled to manage its own affairs.<\/p>\n

Mr Tayebwa made the remarks on the sidelines of the 146th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Manama, Bahrain.<\/p>\n

He said political tolerance shouldn\u2019t interfere with the values and norms of other sovereign states and noted that it is possible to coorporate and coexist without unwarranted interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cTolerance doesn\u2019t mean that we forget our own values and culture. Bahrain which is at the centre of promoting tolerance is a country where you can\u2019t bring some of the things we are talking about here. Pornography sites are blocked here, homosexuality isn\u2019t allowed here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThese are things which we have agreed upon that we can promote tolerance but not at the expense of our values and disrespect beliefs of certain communities and sovereignty of other states. It is very important for Parliament to have that red line set in as far as handling issues of tolerance are concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker said Uganda is open to working with non-intrusive states around the world and committed on behalf of Uganda\u2019s Parliament that the institution would make laws that promote tolerance, coexistence and mitigation of climate change.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted Uganda\u2019s role in regional peacekeeping and said they have helped to pacify the region.<\/p>\n

The president of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), Mr Duarte Pacheco, justified Bahrain\u2019s selection to host the 146th Assembly of the IPU despite questions raised about its fledgling democratic experience dating back to 2002, by saying \u201cit was perfect in all aspects\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a country that shows the world that people from different cultures and religions can live together in a peaceful society and in perfect coexistence. What we find here is what we should have in other countries of our world – peaceful coexistence,\u201d Pacheco said at the opening of the IPU 146th Assembly on Saturday.<\/p>\n

All IPU statutory bodies, including the Governing Council, Standing Committees, Thematic Committees on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians and on Middle East Questions, as well as the Forum of Women Parliamentarians and the Forum of Young MPs, have convened at the Bahrain assembly.<\/p>\n

The theme for the assembly is \u201cPromoting peaceful coexistence and inclusive societies: Fighting intolerance\u201d.<\/p>\n

The General Debate will provide a platform for delegates to deliberate, exchange views and galvanise parliamentary action in fighting intolerance and promoting peaceful coexistence and inclusive societies.<\/p>\n
