This meeting of the IHEU GA resolves that IHEU and its Member Organisations support the GEAR Campaign (Gender Equity Architecture Reform) and the United Nations High Level Panel on system wide coherence recommendations whose main points are:

IHEU has called a UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur's report on Islamophobia "seriously flawed".

In a statement to the UN Human Rights Council, endorsed by IHEU, World Population Foundation representative Diana Brown called on the Council to defend the human rights of all and not to attempt to defend religions against the human rights of people.

Speaking at the United Nations Human Rights Council, IHEU has called for a clear distinction to be drawn between protection for the rights of believers and attempts to protect ideas, beliefs and practices from legitimate criticism.

In its submission on Combating Defamation of Religions to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva IHEU has damned the current process at the UN as "unnecessary, flawed and morally wrong". In the submission, IHEU affirms that each individual should be absolutely free to form, hold or change his or her beliefs and condemns any attempts at stereotyping of religions, racial profiling of individuals, and any and all calls for violence in the name of religion or God. IHEU also expresses deep concerned that the exercise to combat ‘defamation of religions' could compromise established freedoms including freedom of expression, freedom of conscience and freedom of religion.

Resolutions on Defamation of Religion (originally "Defamation of Islam") were adopted by the former UN Commission on Human Rights in 1999 and every year until its abolition in 2006. The IHEU submission says that the very concept of ‘defamation of religion’ is flawed, since it is individuals, both believers and non-believers alike, who have rights, not religions.

The oral statement by WPF and IHEU was one of only two during the debate on the rights of the child at the 4th session of the Human Rights Council to address the horror of child marriage.

A coalition of leading human rights groups from around the world have called on UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour to rebuke Iran for its campaign of Holocaust denial, on the day the UN marks the genocide of Europe's Jews with ceremonies in New York and Geneva.

The UN Human Rights Council held a special session on 12 December 2006 to discuss the human rights crisis in Darfur. Thirty member states, forty observer states and 20 NGOs spoke at the session, which had to be extended for a second day. IHEU main representative Roy Brown was the only speaker to discuss one of the underlying causes of the conflict - rapid population growth - and of the need to address this issue in seeking any long-term solution to the conflict.

In a statement to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, IHEU has condemned attempts to stifle legitimate criticism of religion and academic research into religious history and custom on the grounds of supposed “defamation of religion”, in particular the resolutions on “Combating Defamation of Religions” passed at the Human Rights Commission from 1999 to 2005.
