Ass. for the Defense of Ahlulbayt Rights – Switzerland
Mr. Chairman
Ladies and gentlemen
One of the main goals of the United Nations; As stated in the charter, it is to promote and encourage
respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without discrimination based on race,
gender, language, or religion.
Unfortunately, today, in most societies with liberal legal systems, Muslim minorities are
discriminated against, and there is no guarantee for the rights of persons belonging to minorities,
especially Muslims. You do not support the survival of minorities and protect their identity. Various
pressures in some countries have caused the Muslim minority to hide their culture and religion.
For examples of discrimination against Muslims are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Deprivation of participation in social issues; Economically because of being Muslim
Applying an unfavorable situation to Muslims in connection with cultural-Islamic centers
based in Europe
The Muslim minority does not enjoy equal fundamental freedom and all human rights
Despite the explicit announcement of Article 2 (UNDM), there are discriminatory laws
that make it difficult to establish cultural-Islamic centers in Europe.
Failure to create favorable conditions in order to empower people belonging to Muslim
minorities
Creating restrictions on the publication of material related to Islam and the impossibility
of expressing opinions
discriminatory and insulting speech; Especially in public and private television and radio
programs
Discrimination against Muslim women; Limiting the veil for Muslim women and
impairing the right to choose the type of veil in some European countries
Considering that the United Nations has an important role to play in relation to the protection of
minorities, Considering the importance of the work done by intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations in protecting minorities and in promoting and protecting the rights of
persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities.
It is appropriate to take measures for European countries to ensure that persons belonging to
minorities can enjoy all their human rights and fundamental freedoms in a complete and effective
manner; apply without any discrimination and with complete equality before the law. that this
cooperation will help strengthen friendship between people and countries.
Thank you
