France's ban on full-body Islamic veil violates human rights: U.N. rights panel

APRNEWS - The U.N. Human Rights Committee said on Tuesday that France’s ban on the niqab, the full-body Islamic veil, was a violation of human rights and ordered it to review the legislation.

France had failed to make the case for its ban, the committee said, and gave it 180 days to report back to say what actions it had taken.
