- ODVV's Human Rights Concerns
The written and oral statements that the ODVV submitted to the 27th Session raises the human rights
concerns of the Organization and the values that it believes in. Using the opportunity of its presence in
the Human Rights Council, the ODVV tries to reflect the voices of oppressed people who do not have
the opportunity to be present in the Council and demand their rightful rights. Also by using the views
of consultants and experts in the field and the experiences that continued presence in the Council has
been accomplished, the ODVV expressed its human rights concerns within the framework of Council
literature. To this aim, subjects and issues were raised in the ODVV statements and sideline panels
some of which are as follows: Shedding light on Israel's crimes committed against the defenceless
people of Gaza which had clearly been censored in the Western medias, and ISIS crimes committed
in Iraq and Syria in the name of Islam, the financial backing of this terrorist group by certain countries
such as Qatar, and America's double standard actions against this group, meaning the initial support
and symbolic fight against ISIS, the violation of privacy of the people by the United States in the cyber
media, the fall of the family unit in the West, particularly in America, violation of the human rights of the
people of the world and Iran as a result of illegitimate economic sanctions, necessity to prevent crimes
and dealing with it before it spreads leaving countless numbers of victims. The UPR mechanism and
the necessity for adopting new measures for the prevention of ever increasing violence around the
world and particularly in the Middle East, the unlawfulness of targeted murders with the use of drones,
the necessity to prevent violence against children and conducting of terror attacks in the name of
Islam prepares the basis for discrimination against Muslims and the violation of their rights.
