New Zealand’s foreign minister, Winston Peters, also attended the session. “Our second proposal which came under discussion and was then accepted was that a special session of the United Nations General Assembly be held on the topic of Islamophobia. “The fourth thing that was proposed was that a special rapporteur be appointed who monitors Islamophobia and presents recommendations on how to counter it. The foreign minister discussed systemic discrimination, and the social, political and economic marginalisation and humiliation of Muslims in India “at the hands of the Hindutva brigades”. The foreign minister called for introspection and concerted, collective action considering the current climate.
