The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has underscored the importance of cooperation of countries and their keenness that UN Human Rights Council resolutions be issued upon consensus of all parties and that all member parties confront any attempt to impose unilateral cultures on other nations of the world. This came in a speech by Faisal bin Hasan Trad, the Saudi permanent ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva as he responded to a report by the High Commissioner on the state of human rights in the world, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the past year 2014. Trad said the Kingdom's commitment to enhance and protect human rights emanates from its adherence to Islamic Sharia law which guarantees human rights. He criticized the report as not hearing to the other side's view points, thus based on no reality or using scientific methodology or objectivity or impartiality. Instead, the report is based on allegations of certain parties, resulting in an imbalanced report that doesn't match with the high-level of the High Commissioner for human rights in the world. He said the best way to encourage countries to improve their human rights profiles is to check their living up to their international commitments and cooperation within the mechanisms of human rights, including the comprehensive periodical presentation in an atmosphere of understanding and considering the values and cultures of other people and investing them in enhancing and protecting human rights. He called for applying the principle of transparency and non-selectivity when dealing with the phenomenon of Islamophobia and ways of fighting it, noting that the best way is to remain committed to the resolutions reached by the human rights council in the past.
