Die neueste, von Pakistan eingebrachte UN Resolution "Defamation of Religions" stellt Kritik bzw. die "Diffamierung" von Religionen unter Strafe!
Das Gesetz wurde u.a. von Süd-Korea, Japan, Indien, Mexiko und Brazilien durchgewunken.
The "defamation of religions" resolution, introduced by Pakistan on behalf of the Organization for the Islamic Conference (OIC), passed today by a vote of 23-11, with 13 abstentions. Muslim nations have been introducing similar resolutions since 1999, arguing that Islam-the only religion specifically cited in the text-must be shielded from unfair associations with terrorism and human rights abuses.
"These countries are using the UN to expand and bring legitimacy to their frontal assault on freedom of expression," said Paula Schriefer, Freedom House advocacy director. "This assault starts at the level of domestic blasphemy laws present in many OIC countries, which are routinely employed to harass and imprison religious minorities, political dissenters and human rights advocates, and is elevated to the international level through resolutions at the UN."
