This House urges that relevant international organizations and states must legislate to criminalize desecration of Holy symbols of religions including Holy Books, personalities, places of worship and followers. This House acknowledges and appreciates the convening of the OIC session for providing platform to compile recommendations and devise a collective future strategy to counter Islamophobia.
