(UN) Well the liberal world had a right hissy fit when the US pulled out of the UN Human rights commission (UNHCR) the other month. Saying it was doing so as it was a "hypocritical" body that "makes
a mockery of human rights".
Well guess what the UNHCR have only gone and done it again. Yesterday they found in favour of 2 Islamic women who complained in 2016 regards a 2010 French ban on the full body (niqab) covering and the UN has found in their favour. stating that the french state has not demonstrated how the full veil presents a
threat in itself for public security to justify this absolute ban, adding that the French Government had not adequately explained
why hiding one’s face is forbidden for religious reasons, while it is
authorized in other contexts such as sports, or artistic settings. They concluded by saying that the ban, rather than protecting fully
veiled women, could have the effect of confining them to their homes, impeding
their access to public services and marginalizing them.
The UN has given the French 180 days to demonstrate it has taken the UN findings on
board and compensate the two women who brought the complaints.
Meanwhile the very same UNHCR remains silent on Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan , and a large number of Islamic enclaves around the world, where not covering up for Allah, can not only get you arrested, but can result in your death.
Couldn't make it up if you tried.
