Malaysia komited perangi Islamofobia, kebencian dalam talian
Mohamad Hasan berkata platform digital perlu menjadi ruang dialog membina, bukan medan menyemarakkan perpecahan dan kebencian.
Malaysia has pledged its commitment to combating Islamophobia, religious discrimination, and the spread of hate speech, including on digital platforms. At a UNAOC high-level meeting, Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan emphasized that the rise of intolerance, xenophobia, and religious discrimination around the world, including Islamophobia, cannot be taken lightly.
He called for the appointment of a special UN representative to combat Islamophobia, in line with Malaysia's appointment of a special envoy to address the issue. The minister also warned about the growing role of digital platforms in spreading hate speech. "We urge technology companies, civil society, and member states to jointly create a responsible digital ecosystem to ensure the digital space remains safe for constructive dialogue, rather than becoming a field that breeds division and isolation," he said.
Malaysia's participation in the Global Conference on Enhancing Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue and Tolerance in Combating Hate Speech was also mentioned. The conference was organized jointly by Maghribi, the UN, and UNAOC. Malaysia pledged its readiness to work alongside UNAOC and its members to bridge gaps, address narratives of hatred, and build a world that protects diversity as a collective strength.
