"( Mr President, on 10 December we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the proclamation of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 2 of the Declaration states that: ‘everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion ’. This document was signed by India, a country that owes so much to Mahatma Ghandi, who was a fervent advocate of the rights of the individual. Unfortunately, however, we are constantly receiving most alarming news about the persecution of Christians in India. The news includes accounts of cruel murders, assaults, rape, and the burning of homes and places of worship. The situation is particularly serious in the state of Orissa. Mr President, we did not remain indifferent to the crimes committed by terrorists in Bombay, and we must not remain indifferent either to the so-called against Christians. We must endeavour to put an end to these expressions of hatred, which are a clear case of violation of fundamental human rights, namely the right to freedom of belief and the right to life."@en1
