E/CN.4/1991/56 page 21 publicly attacks the beliefs of a religious community or disparages or deliberately misrepresents its observances, celebrations or religious gatherings, who damages, destroys, defaces or desecrates a place of worship of a religious community, a religious symbol or other object of religious veneration, who publicly insults a symbol or person held sacred, venerated or respected by a religious community or who publicly mimics a religious ceremony or celebration with a view to turning it into an object of ridicule." "Minorities have full freedom to practise their religion and this freedom is protected by the Constitution." Mexico "Article 24 of the Constitution states that 'Everyone is free to manifest the religious belief of his choice and to practise the related ceremonies, devotions or acts of worship ...'. Consequently, Mexican law respects the right of citizens to practise any type of religion, regardless of whether it is a minority religion in Mexico." Morocco The Government of Morocco did not provide a specific answer to this question. However, in its general reply, reference was made to certain aspects of this question, as follows: "The Kingdom of Morocco, although a Muslim State, guarantees non-Muslims the right to practise their faith freely. This can be seen in regard to the Jewish and Christian religions, which are quite widespread compared with the others. This is a sign of the very high toleration in Morocco for the religions of the Book." Nicaragua "The criterion is recognition that all persons, either alone or in community with others, are entitled to manifest their religious beliefs in private or in public, in their worship, practices and teachings (art. 69 of the Constitution). As to the minorities of Nicaragua's Atlantic Coast, the State guarantees preservation of their cultures, languages, religions and customs (art. 180 of the Constitution)." Oman The Government of Oman did not provide a specific answer to this question. However, in its general reply, reference was made to several aspects of the question, as follows: "Oman is a Muslim country with 100 per cent of the population adhering to the religion of Islam. Among the indigenous population of the country there are no religious minorities and there has never been any religious strife or clashes in the country. Therefore there was no need to make any special laws or protective measures in this respect."
