CAIRO – A United Nations committee on racial discrimination has reprimanded New Zealand over “inflammatory” anti-Islam comments made by a lawmaker, urging the government to promote ethnic harmony and combat stereotypes and prejudices against ethnic and religious groups.
“The committee regrets the recent inflammatory remarks by a Member of Parliament vilifying persons from Central Asia or the Middle East based on their skin color and country of origin as well as their religion,” the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said in the New Zealand section of its latest report.
