Extremists and terrorist groups are disguised behind religion to incite hatred and discord within all societies, indiscriminately. These groups challenge the values enshrined in the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.https://www.unaoc.org/wp-content/uploads/unaoc-julieladanan.png1280720
