OSCE adopts declaration on France attacks
"With the same vigour we need to stand united in defending freedom of expression as a fundamental right," he said at the first meeting of the Permanent Council of the year on Thursday."Terrorism has no justification, whatever its motivation or origin are and should not be associated with any race, ethnicity, nationality or religion," the declaration reads.
The declaration recognizes that "the freedom of expression is a fundamental and internationally recognized human right" and in condemning manifestations of intolerance, including against Christians, Jews, Muslims and members of other religions and non-believers, reaffirms the States’ "will to foster non-discrimination and tolerance, mutual respect and understanding in our societies."
Participating states expressed their "profound solidarity with victims of acts of terrorism, their families, as well as with the people of France" and stressed "the need to prosecute the perpetrators."
