Foreign Office Minister Jeremy Browne met with Alice Jones and Lisa Pearce of the charity Open Doors UK, to receive a petition against the UN Defamation of Religions Resolution.
皇冠体育app global public petition was signed by 370,000 people from more than 70 countries to say 鈥榶es鈥� to religious liberty and 鈥榥o鈥� to the Defamation of Religions Resolution tabled in the UN.
皇冠体育app UK supports this petition, and is committed to protecting the right to freedom of religion and belief. 皇冠体育app concept of Defamation of Religion is inconsistent with international human rights law, which exists to protect individuals not religions. 皇冠体育app restrictions on fundamental freedoms that it seeks to impose would put in danger the very openness and tolerance that allows people of different faiths to co-exist and to practise their faith without fear.
