SNIPPET: “The proposal by Pakistan had drawn strong criticism from free-speech campaigners and liberal democracies.

A simple majority of 23 members of the 47-nation Human Rights Council voted in favor of the resolution. Eleven mostly Western nations opposed it and 13 countries abstained.”

SNIPPET: “The council is dominated by Muslim and African countries.

“Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism,” the resolution said.”
