After the attacks on the Koran in Denmark and Sweden, the UN took action.

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted the draft resolution submitted by Morocco, which recognizes all kinds of violence against people because of their religious beliefs, holy books and religious sites as a violation of international law.

In the resolution, all acts of violence against people because of their religion or belief, as well as acts of violence against people’s religious symbols, holy books, homes, workplaces, property, schools, cultural centers and places of worship, were labeled as violations of international law and strongly condemned.
