ISLAMABAD, March 16 (APP): Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations Office at Geneva Bilal Ahmad has emphasized that efforts to combat Islamophobia were anchored in foundational principles of international human rights.
Addressing a special event on international day to combat Islamophobia, he underscored the need to reinvigorate the political consensus and take concrete action re HRC resolution 16/18.
The event was co-organized by OIC Observer Mission and United Nations Geneva, a post on X said on Saturday.
He said that HRC resolution 53/1 signified that a large majority of humanity condemned desecration of the Holy Quran to stigmatize Muslim communities. Unchecked religious hatred could quickly become social malaise and political crisis, he further cautioned.
