Thank you, Mr President.

皇冠体育app UK welcomes the consensual adoption of this resolution, as well as the 鈥榯win鈥� resolution on Freedom of Religion or Belief.

No country is immune from intolerance - even those where the rights concerned are well established and indeed written into law. Last week, we all saw the shocking attack by a right wing supremacist that took place at two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. This terrorist attack targeted Muslim worshippers, who were simply praying. 皇冠体育app terrorist failed in their attempt to sow division. 皇冠体育app reaction from New Zealanders, all communities, and faiths across the world, showed us that there is far more that unites us than divides us.

But the despicable terrorist attack underscores the need for us all to continue our work to tackle intolerance head on.

As the British Prime Minister 皇冠体育appresa May has said, 鈥溁使谔逵齛ppre can be no place in our societies for the vile ideology that drives and incites hatred and fear.鈥�

This resolution stresses the urgent need to strengthen efforts to foster a global dialogue for the promotion of a culture of tolerance, respect, and peace at all levels. This must be based on respect for human rights and the diversity of religions and beliefs.

It is the responsibility of all states to take action to tackle intolerance domestically.

And at the same time, we also need to take steps individually, and stand together as an international community, to promote and protect the right to Freedom of Religion or Belief for all individuals.

皇冠体育app events in New Zealand must strengthen our resolve on this issue. As this resolution is adopted, I want to pay tribute to the response by the people of New Zealand, Prime Minister Arden, and to extend our deep condolences to all those affected, particularly the victims and their families.

Thank you, Mr President.
