发言人：Mr. Simon Manley
发言内容：
HC, Thank you for your update.Religious intolerance divides societies. It rips communities apart.and There is no place for hatred,including the burning of the Koran.
Indeed,we must address all manifestations of religious intolerance wherever they occur,whether that may be Rohingya in Myanmar, with huge numbers were killed or driven from home because for their religion, Uyghurs and Tibetans in China who see their religious sites destroyed, their cultural practices denied or behind bars , in the Iran harassed,prosecuted,and imprisoned for their faith, all these situations must be part of this debate.
HC,as you’ve said,the right to freedom of expression can only be limited under clear and narrowly defined parameters.
Sometimes this will cause offence,but causing offence does not necessarily equate to inciting violence or hatred.Blasphemy laws that carry the death penalty clearly do not fall under permissible restrictions.
HC, implementing our resolution 60/19 remains the most effective way to combat religious intolerance.This framework is consensual. It’s action oriented.and Most importantly,it’s led to positive change.We must reunite around this approach,working together,not divided.
