Yes, the world isn't perfect and sometimes people misuse laws and authority. But there is no contradiction in the UN positions that we're talking about right now.
- AmIFirstToThink 9y agoIs any criticism of Islam or the prophet a fair game as per your interpretation of those positions?
- burkaman 9y agoIt is legally fair game, yes. The resolution makes no restriction on speech, and specifically calls out the importance of freedom of expression. As I said, the only concrete obligation in the resolution is prohibiting discrimination. Speech is not discrimination, and the Human Rights Council has never claimed that it is.
- AmIFirstToThink 9y agoThanks. I will adjust my understanding of this point.
