UN General Assembly Committee passes new version of resolution urging nations to forbid defamation of religion

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Ilya Somin writing at The Volokh Conspiracy: "The United Nations General Assembly Third Committee recently passed another resolution urging nations to ban defamation of religion [HT: Elizabeth Cassidy of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, which criticized the resolution here] . . . As I have pointed out previously, this is an excellent example of the ways in which repressive governments seek to use international human rights law to suppress freedom rather than protect it, a problem I have written about in two articles coauthored with John McGinnis (see here and here). Most of the support for this resolution comes from authoritarian and repressive regimes, many of which have terrible records on religious freedom."
