H.E. Ms. Laura Dupuy Lasserre
President of the Human Rights Council
Geneva

My dear President,

I am writing to you in my capacity as Coordinator of the OIC Group on Human Rights and Humanitarian Issues in Geneva.

2. I wish to explain the position taken by the Member States of the OIC onResolution 17/19 and the subsequent Panel on “Discrimination and Violence based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity” scheduled to be held on 7 March 2012 during the 19′th Session of the Human rights Council.

3. The OIC States are deeply concerned by the introduction in the Human Rights Council of controversial notions like “sexual orientation and gender identity.” The OIC countries have been consistent in their opposition to the consideration of these controversial notions in the context of human right at international fora.

4. We are seriously concerned at the attempt to introduce in the United Nations concepts that have no legal foundation in any international human rights instrument. The international community only recognizes those rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which were codified in subsequent international legal instruments.

5. We note with concern the attempts to create controversial “new notions” or “new standards” by misinterpreting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and intemational treaties to include such notions that were never articulated or agreed to by the UN membership. These attempts undermine not only the intent of the drafters and signatories to these human rights instruments, but also seriously jeopardize the entire international human rights framework.

6. We are even more disturbed at the attempt to focus on certain persons on the grounds of their abnormal sexual behaviour, while not focusing on the glaring instances of intolerance and discrimination in various parts of the world, be it on the basis of colour, race, gender or religion, to mention only a few.

7. It must also be recognized that the international community agreed during the World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna in 1993, that while considering the issue of human rights, national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind. From this perspective, the issue of sexual orientation is unacceptable to the OIC.

8. The OIC Member States are concerned that the Panel will discuss issues that relate to personal behavior and preferences, and have nothing to do with fundamental human rights. This debate will shift the focus from the real issues that deserve the attention of the Council.

9. For the reasons explained above the Member States of the OIC would like to place on record their opposition to the holding of this panel and will not accept its considerations and recommendations.

Sincerely yours,

Zamir Akram
Ambassador and Permanent Representative
Coordinator of the OIC Group on Human Rights
and Humanitarian Issues

Just realised letter is few months old, don't know why it showed up on my twitter feed.

[CaliBurco]

Waiting for Union to save the gay people.

[CaliBurco]

no doubt somaliland will offer to ratify the "gay rights" inclusion into human rights if they are recognised.
these degenerates already have a thriving gay scene in hargeisa/Djibouti.
most of their tourism revolves around paedophilia and gay porn.
they`re biggest supporters and lobbyists are European gays.

lord strike me down if I`m lying.........completely

Do most of the OIC even respect the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? The answer would be no. Even though almost all of them(except Saudi arabia) signed them, they have not respected this treaty. So why does it matter whether gay rights are introduced or not. Its not like they will follow or respect the UN treaties. So why does it matter?

If you live in the West, you need to move to a Sharia country.

[jalaaludin5]

Why? Am not asking for anyone to be hanged in the west for sodomizing each other.

But other countries reserve the right to do as they will with filthy fagots. Muslim countries should never accept the idea of treating sodomite with kids gloves.

We will respect their laws but they should also respect others.

[Arabmann]

Muslims didn't have a say nor took park in writing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Why should anyone respect it, especially if it conflicts with the teachings of his/her faith?

So why does it matter whether gay rights are introduced or not.

Because of Islam.

Its not like they will follow or respect the UN treaties.

The UN treaties were written by Christians during the colonial era. Why are Muslims supposed to respect it? The OIC has its own treaties; why shouldn't Christians respect it?

I suggested that you move to a country which reflects you're values, because I thought it was a good suggestion. You're values reflect a system of values that would lead to a moral decay from a liberal value system perspective and would also lead to poverty and lack of scientific progress.

Muslims didn't have a say nor took park in writing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Why should anyone respect it, especially if it conflicts with the teachings of his/her faith?

Almost all of them signed it. They chose to sign treaties and not follow them, their opinion is worthless if they even won't follow treaties which they have signed.

The UN treaties were written by Christians during the colonial era. Why are Muslims supposed to respect it? The OIC has its own treaties; why shouldn't Christians respect it?

Again most of these countries signed alot of these treaties, almost all of them signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

[SummerRain]

This Universal Declaraction of Human Rights is not feasible to all especially this issue of Homosexuality they are forcing down people's throat.

[jalaaludin5]

Inshallah i will be moving. But when am ready.

waar Somali ma tahay

[Arabmann]

Almost all of them signed it. They chose to sign treaties and not follow them, their opinion is worthless if they even won't follow treaties which they have signed.

You're mistaken; it was written and ratified in 1948, when almost all Muslim countries were under colonization.

Again most of these countries signed alot of these treaties, almost all of them signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Secular individuals handpicked and trained in Western countries to rule Muslim countries signed it many years after 1948. The Taliban, al-Shabaab, Hamas, the Muslim brotherhood, etc didn't sign it.
