The UN Human Rights Council will hold an urgent session to discuss the burning of the Quran in Stockholm, Sweden. The incident, in which a man stomped on and set fire to the Muslim holy book outside a mosque, triggered global outrage and a diplomatic backlash from Muslim countries. The debate was requested by Pakistan on behalf of several members of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation. The exact date and time of the urgent debate are yet to be determined. The Human Rights Council has 47 members and is currently in its second regular session of the year.
