34:43Now PlayingIn an unprecedented move, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), prompted by Pakistan on behalf of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, has adopted a resolution condemning incidents of Quran burning as acts of religious hatred. This resolution was passed despite objections from multiple Western nations, primarily due to concerns around freedom of speech and expression. As Khalil Hashmi, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, accused the West of "lip service" to their commitment to preventing religious hatred, critics of the resolution are voicing concerns about the potential for this legislation to stifle free speech. These critics argue that, as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said, "every national limit on the greater right of free speech and free expression of opinion must be so formulated so that its only task, its only outcome, can be the protection of the individual — and not the protection of religious doctrines from critical analysis." It remains to be seen how this landmark resolution will impact global conversations about the balance between respect for religious sentiments and the preservation of free speech.
