RIYADH: The Saudi Human Rights Commission (HRC) welcomed on Thursday a decision from the UN Human Rights Council to adopt a draft resolution proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on denouncing religious fanaticism, discrimination and violence around the world. HRC said that the draft resolution is a continuation of global efforts to put an end to extremism, intolerance, and hate speech, as well as enhance coexistence and peace, Saudi Press Agency reported. The commission said the unanimously adopted resolution included facts that should be implemented on the ground, mainly undermining religious hate, refraining from attaching terrorism to any religion, respecting religious and cultural diversity and dialogue among followers of different faiths and cultures. Earlier this year, president of the HRC, Hala Al-Tuwaijri, affirmed Saudi Arabia’s commitment to enhancing and protecting human rights, as well as respecting cultural diversity and equality among peoples.
