Mr President, The ever-evolving nature of the relationships States have with religion or belief is of significance to those seeking to promote human rights protection, because the degree to which States are entangled with various religions or beliefs has far-reaching implications for their disposition and ability to guarantee human rights, especially those rights exercised by persons belonging to religious or belief minorities. (...) While States with a negative view of religion may reject policies for accommodation which may, in some cases, run afoul of their duty to respect the right to manifest one’s religion or belief, attempt to “sanitize” the public sphere from any religion or belief, and/or have high levels of restrictions on freedom of religion or belief for any individual manifesting another belief contrary to a restrictive understanding of secularism. (...) It includes the freedom of conscience and the right to change one’s religion or belief; and the right to manifest one’s faith or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching, in public or in private, alone or in a group.

Consequently, my reports these last two years have highlighted that freedom of religion or belief exists in a legal continuum with a range of other rights. (...) Honourable Chair, The current report speaks to growing concern about the implications for freedom of religion or belief of State responses to expression involving religion or belief that may be deemed offensive to some, or that incites discrimination, hostility and violence. 3 In it, I conclude that freedom of expression is evidently indispensable to the enjoyment of all other rights, including for the meaningful enjoyment of freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief. The exercise of a core aspect of freedom of religion or belief, namely the peaceful manifestation of religion or belief, relies on the degree of protections afforded to freedom of expression, among other rights.
