The United Nations Human Rights Council has decided to discuss the issue of contempt of religions after the magazine "Charlie Hebdo" re-published cartoons of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and to introduce a resolution for vote at its next session in March at a request by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia submitted by Saudi ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva Faisal bin Hassan Trad to the High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad Al-Hussein. The resolution, to be put to a vote at the Human Rights Council, demands that the freedom of expression, the press and opinion shall not cross the lines which represent an insult to religions and beliefs, and demands an end to deliberate insults to the Islamic religion. The Kingdom has sought in 2011 to pass a similar resolution by the Human Rights Council but the Western countries coordinated diplomatic alliances to water down the text of the resolution on the grounds that there should be no prejudice to the freedom of expression and the press. --More 15:37 LOCAL TIME 12:37 GMT تغريد
