PRIF-Report No. 136 reconstructs the problematic campaign of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for establishing an anti-defamation resolution, illustrates the chances of UN-resolution 16/18 and provides recommendations for politics
From the mid-1990s, the Organization of the Islamic Conference promoted the adoption of an anti-defamation resolution as a means of getting the protection of Islam and Muslims from defamation and discrimination in the Western world enshrined as a new norm within the UN system. After an initial period of receptivity, support for the idea waned.
In the latest PRIF-Report No. 136 "Which Gets Protection – Belief or Believer? The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Campaign against the ‚Defamation of Religions‘", Claudia Baumgart-Ochse reconstructs the course of the OIC's UN campaign between 1999 and 2011, exploring its political, historical, and human-rights context. She examines the underlying circumstances and normative clashes that prevented the norm from being incorporated into human-rights legislation.
This PRIF Report was published in German as HSFK-Report Nr. 12/2014 („Schutz der Religionen oder Schutz der Gläubigen? Die Organisation für islamische Zusammenarbeit und die Kampagne gegen die „Diffamierung von Religionen“).
