The UNHRC adopted the resolution on"countering religious hatred constituting incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence" on July 12, and amongst the 47 council members, 28 member states voted in favour of the resolution including Malaysia, 12 against while seven abstained.
"While the UNHRC has valiantly stood against this hate, I hope that the dissenters reflect on their choice, doing all in their power to ensure their actions and words do not commit a disservice, an injustice, against the noble body they serve or the human rights they defend,” he said in a statement today .
"In as much as we reject the extremes of totalitarianism, an extremist notion of freedom is equally detrimental to society, which could lead to further infringements upon other’s rights to life and safety,” he added. "The harm and pain caused by the acts of a few can only be balanced by the rest of us, standing together, and choosing to respect one another, to care and show compassion, and to seek out understanding,” he said.
