The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
Recently, UN member states advised India to take a stronger stance on sexual violence and religious discrimination during a Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of New Delhi's human rights record at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The UPR, conducted every four years, evaluates member states' human rights records. Any member state may question the state being reviewed and offer suggestions. Member states urged New Delhi to limit the scope of its "anti-terror" laws. A person can be labeled a "terrorist" based on suspicion under these laws. American diplomat Michèle Taylor, the current United States ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council, said, "We recommend that India reduce the broad application of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and similar laws against human rights activists, journalists, and religious minorities." The law has drawn flak for targeting members of minority and rights groups and for having a low conviction rate. Many countries praised India for putting some of the recommendations made during the last UPR, which was held in 2017. However, others were quick to raise serious concerns as the stance on minority rights, freedom of speech, and violence against women has worsened. Canada asked India to investigate religious violence, including the cases against the Muslim community, to protect the freedom of religion and stop sexual violence. The secretary of the foreign ministry of India, Sanjay Verma, said that the suggestions would be taken to New Delhi for consideration. Although New Delhi has signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture (UNCAT) treaty, it has still not ratified it.
