The draft was presented to the General Assembly in New York during a meeting on Thursday.
In December 2013, the General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to approve President Rouhani’s WAVE proposal, which called on all nations across the globe to denounce violence and extremism.
The Iranian president had made the proposal in his address to the UN Disarmament Conference in New York on September 25, 2013.
Khoshrou said the consensus on the draft and support for it on the part of various countries indicates that the UN must take immediate action for containing violence and extremism in the world.
The Iranian envoy further warned against associating violent extremism with any religion. He said those who are accusing divine religions of violence are engaged in hate speech and fanning the flames of prejudice.
