The Legal Expert, Salem Hawass, said that it is true that the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which includes 53 legal articles, is an open international agreement that defines procedures and controls for diplomatic work among countries and defines the rights and duties of members of diplomatic missions, but it does not suppress people from their right to demonstrate and protest against them.
Hawass added in a statement: “The provisions of Article 22 of the agreement, even if it stipulates that the mission’s buildings enjoy sanctity, and accredited government representatives do not have the right to enter the mission’s buildings unless approved by the head of the mission, and the accredited country has a special obligation to take all necessary means to prevent storming or damaging the mission's buildings and maintaining the mission's security from disturbance or degrading its dignity, but this does not prevent people from exercising their legitimate and sacred rights.
Hawass wondered, "Why the double standards in international standards, in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 of the Convention, that the mission and its head have the right to raise the national flag and the emblem of the dependent state on the mission's buildings, including the headquarters of the head of the mission, as well as on his means of transportation, while the flag of homosexuals, and delinquents is raised on some embassies and their protection and defense on their behalf, they described confronting them as oppression and hatred, while describing the burning of the Holy Qur’an as freedom!
Hawass called on "government officials in the Iraqi state who hold Swedish or European citizenship not to remain silent about these crimes, violations and attacks, and thus defend Sweden, Austria, Denmark and other countries, and stand with shame and shyness in the face of these attacks by giving priority to their personal interests over the supreme national interest."
