Dr. Al-Aiban noted that the world community is still falling short of taking decisive action against the flagrant violations of the Syrian regime against its people. He said the freedom of speech should not be a pretext to violate human rights of others or offense their beliefs and religions, citing the importance of taking into consideration the diversity of culture and the importance of using it to enhance human rights within the concept of "human rights universality". He urged the Human Rights Council to undertake its responsibilities as regards improving the situation of human rights in the world on objective and not selective ways and that the Council's decisions should be taken through unanimous agreement rather than majority voting. He also advised against politicizing human rights issues. Otherwise, the gap between the civilizations and cultures now working in harmony under the Council's ceiling will be widened, he concluded. --SPA 23:15 LOCAL TIME 20:15 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
