From the mid-1990s, the Organization of the Islamic Conference promoted the
adoption of an anti-defamation resolution as a means of getting the protection
of Islam and Muslims from defamation and discrimination in the Western world
enshrined as a new norm within the UN system. After an initial period of receptivity,
support for the idea waned. Claudia Baumgart-Ochse reconstructs the
course of the OIC’s UN campaign between 1999 and 2011, exploring its political,
historical, and human-rights context. She examines the underlying circumstances
and normative clashes that prevented the norm from being incorporated into
human-rights legislation.
Dr Claudia Baumgart-Ochse is a Senior Researcher in the Research Department
'Private Actors in the Transnational Sphere'. Her main areas of interest are the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of religious actors in international politics.
