Contention

While resolutions like HR36 are generally non-controversial and serve a purpose of commendation, they may bring about discussions on the role of religion in public life and community support systems. However, the resolution itself does not appear to have faced notable opposition, as the intention is primarily to honor a long-serving leader for their contributions.
