LEADING APARTHEID AND OPPRESSOR OF THE WORLD SETS UP "HUMAN RIGHTS" DIV. [OIC], LOL
This BITTER JOKE is in the news:
The regionalization of minority rights is most advanced within the West, in Europe and the Americas, By contrast, there is virtually no enthusiasm in Asia or the Arab/Muslim world to defelop regional norms on minortitiy rights. The whole issue remains essentially a taboo topic in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries.... Interestingly, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, representing Muslim-majority countries around the world, has a Department on Minority Affairs, but its formal resolutions focus exclusively on the rights of Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim majority countries (Khan 2002). (For representative example, see the OIC's resolution 'On Safeguarding the Rights of Muslim Communites and Minorities in non-OIC Member States'-- Resoliution No. 1/10-MM (IS) , adopted at the 10th Session of the Islamic Summit Conference, 16-17 October-2203). The OIC has not attempted to codify norms, or to establish formal monitoring mechanisms, regarding the treatment of ethnic minorities within Muslim-majority countries, such as the oppression of the Kurds in Syria, the Ahwaz in Iran, the Hazars in Afghanistan, the Baluchs in Pakistan,the 'Al-Akhdam' in Yemen, or the Berbers in Algeria.

It's something along the line of Libya (where 2 Million Africans are oppressed because of racism) & Iran (where everyone suffers under the Islamist boot, especially minorities have a "special" treatment from the bastion of "tolerance," like: Bahai', Christians, Jews, Azeris, Baluchis, Ahwazis, etc.) hosting a UN conference on racism...
