Pakistan has raised a stark alarm at the United Nations, asserting that anti-Muslim sentiment assumes its most dangerous proportions when it is sanctioned by a state apparatus, leading to the dehumanization and systematic marginalization of Muslim populations and the denial of their fundamental human rights.

According to a report by MOIB today, the statement was delivered by Pakistan”s First Secretary, Zulfikar Ali, during an Interactive Dialogue at the General Assembly, where he voiced profound concern over the continued global manifestations of Islamophobia.

He identified these occurrences as being evidenced in widespread hatred, discrimination, and violence directed against followers of Islam in various parts of the world.

The Pakistani diplomat also reiterated his nation”s commitment to the landmark outcome of the 2001 World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, reaffirming the country”s support for the agreement.
