在波士顿大学国际法杂志的研讨会“阿拉伯之春后重新调整西方政策和国际法”，2013年3月25日举行，教授Aswad给了主旨演讲，她在那里描述了广泛的美国外交努力，以促进最广泛的保护言论和宗教自由，即使是在谈到言论被认为是亵渎。一位专题讨论会与会者问，鉴于穆斯林占多数的国家的宗教敏感性以及美国与这些国家悬而未决的其他紧迫问题，美国为什么不能同意在处理亵渎问题上与这些国家持不同意见。本文试图回答这个问题。出于本文所述的理由，提交人认为，亵渎禁令和其他类似法律侵犯了普遍人权，不公平地针对宗教少数群体，并破坏了他们寻求实现的目标。他们还认为，在人权理事会最近一项决议的执行进程中，可以找到解决亵渎问题的另一个国际机制，该决议寻求在不侵犯基本自由的情况下打击宗教不容忍现象。
At the Boston University International Law Journal’s symposium “Realigning Western Policy and International Law after the Arab Spring,” held on March 25, 2013, Professor Aswad gave the keynote address, where she described the extensive U.S. diplomatic efforts to promote the broadest possible protections for freedoms of expression and religion, even when it comes to speech that is considered blasphemous. A symposium participant asked why the United States cannot just agree to disagree with Muslim majority countries on the treatment of blasphemy given the religious sensibilities in those countries and the number of other pressing equities the United States has pending with those countries. This Article seeks to answer that question. For the reasons expressed in this Article, the authors argue that blasphemy bans and other similar laws violate universal human rights, unfairly target religious minorities, and undermine the very objectives they seek to achieve. They also argue that an additional international mechanism for addressing blasphemy issues can be found in an implementation process for a recent Human Rights Council resolution that seeks to combat religious intolerance without infringing on fundamental freedoms.
