President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reiterated his plan to propose an international protocol against religious defamation to prevent conflicts and maintain world peace during the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting.
The Jakarta Globe: Speaking at a press conference before leaving for New York to attend the UN meeting on Saturday, Yudhoyono said an international protocol on anti-religious defamation was needed to anticipate negative developments, such as those seen recently.
“Indonesia has a moral obligation to convey its view and appeal, and probably also participate in, creating an international protocol on how we could prevent or reject actions or initiatives that could be categorized as denigrating a religion, any religion,” he said.
Yudhoyono first raised the issue on Monday, calling on the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Monday to issue edicts against religious defamation in the wake of global protests ignited by the anti-Islam film “The Innocence of Muslims.”
