GENEVA
United Nations high commissioner for human rights has said the answer to the deadly Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris should not be more murder or hurting of people.
"As a Muslim, many of the cartoons which are being reproduced everywhere today are as offensive to me as they are to...every Muslim around the world, all 1.6 billion. But for me, for us, the answer is, of course, not to murder, maim or hurt," Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein told reporters in Geneva Friday.
"Especially the killing or the wounding would be abominable," Al Hussein added.
He added that that neither Islam nor multiculturalism in Europe was to blame for the Charlie Hebdo attack.
Acting Director-General of the UN Office at Geneva Michael Moller said the killings were "an attack on all of us" and reiterated the importance of freedom of expression and press.
Referring to the recent assassination of two Tunisian journalists in Libya, Moller called on others to speak up and pay tribute to the slain journalists.
