Origin - 2014 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 7.3, replace the words "and anti-Semitism", with the following words:

", anti-Semitism and Islamophobia".

Explanatory note

Migrants, especially Muslims, have been the main target of the violent Neo-Nazi attacks in Europe, in particular Germany. Islamophobic attacks against mosques in Western European countries, continue unabated. Therefore the resolution should make a reference to Islamophobia as a form of modern extremism that is to be confronted.
