France's plan to ban the hijab at the Paris Olympics has been vetoed

The International Olympic Committee has opposed France's plan to ban the hijab in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A few days after the controversial move by the French Sports Minister, Amelie Odia-Castera, the International Olympic Committee has announced that there will be no and hijab restrictions for athletes at the Paris Olympics, which will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024. 

Earlier, the United Nations Human Rights Office criticized the French government's decision to ban the hijab for athletes France at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. In its statement, the United Nations Human Rights Committee condemned the ban on the hijab in France, saying that the country has violated the international human rights convention by preventing women and girls from wearing the hijab in schools and public places.

The United Nations Human Rights Committee issued the statement after the French Sports Minister said last Sunday that French athletes will not be allowed to wear hijabs at next year's Olympic Games in Paris. In 2011, France passed a ban on the headscarf, and after that, other European countries such as Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands and Bulgaria also passed similar laws. In recent years, European countries have increased anti-Islam and anti-Muslim policies.
