Amendment No. 2 | Doc. 14787 | 22 January 2019
Compatibility of Sharia law with the European Convention on Human Rights: can States Parties to the Convention be signatories to the “Cairo Declaration”?
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 12.1 with the following paragraph:
"accelerate their efforts to revise the 1990 Cairo Declaration;"
Explanatory note
On 27-28 May in Kuwait, the OIC Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) reviewed the Cairo Declaration in comparison with existing universal human rights instruments. IPHRC, based on this comparative study, drafted a revised text titled 'the OIC Declaration on Human Rights' and submitted it for consideration of the member State.
