In 2022, the Assembly approved a resolution, which jointly nominated by Pakistan as an international day to tackle Islamophobia, which he called a “fixed moment” because the world eventually acknowledged the threat posed by the threat.

Ambassador Akram, speaking for the OIC, said, “Islamophobia is not limited to a single region – it is born again in the West and the East.”
“Islamophobia is now being used as an opportunity for political development and popularity, which has fed the worst humanitarianism of fear, prejudice and hatred. In some countries, Muslims are systematically backward and suppressed.
In this regard, Ambassador Akram called on governments to ensure that their policies and laws reflect an unintentional commitment to religious tolerance. Media and dislike are not used to air hatred. No law has been made a weapon to reduce Muslim identity or discriminate against Muslims. And the citizen of any state is not linked to the second level on the basis of their belief.
“No nation can claim to be a real democracy, while it organizes its Muslim citizens in a systematic manner and backs it,” he said.
“Today, Islamophic currency, policies and measures are dangerous, especially in recent times, hatred and intolerance against Muslims have spread,” the Pakistani envoy pointed to the consequences of religious intolerance, massive emission, inquiries, Pogomes and genocide.
“We observe the political rhetoric that strives to exclude Muslims, deprive them and make the devil – even in societies who have worked as the champion of tolerance, pluralism, democracy and human rights.”

The dishonor of his honorable Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); Pressing Muslim Identity – like hijab is banned. Backwardness and discrimination against the entire Muslim communities.

In this context, he presented the massacre of Christ Church on March 15, 2019 and the slaughter of Muslims in the other region as a “clear example of Islamophobia, hatred and racism.”
Ambassador Akram thanked the UN chief that he thanked a senior Spanish diplomat and a special envoy to Islamophobia, pointing to his intention to nominate Magel Morenos, a senior diplomat and civilization head of the United Nations coalition.
