The Special Rapporteur also requested the Government to clarify how the ban on the annual meetings of the Methodist Church of Fiji until 2014 was compatible with international human rights standards regarding the right to freedom of religion or belief. (b) No response received from the Government (c) Observations by the Special Rapporteur 123. The Special Rapporteur regrets that he has so far not received a reply from the Government of Fiji regarding the above mentioned allegations concerning the situation of members of the Methodist Church of Fiji. He would like to refer to Human Rights Council resolution 6/37, in which the Council urges States “(g) To ensure, in particular, the right of all persons to worship or assemble in connection with a religion or belief and to establish and maintain places for these purposes and the right of all persons to write, issue and disseminate relevant publications in these areas; (h) To ensure that, in accordance with appropriate national legislation and in conformity with international human rights law, the freedom of all persons and members of groups to establish and maintain religious, charitable or humanitarian institutions is fully respected and protected”. Furthermore, he would like to recall that the General Assembly, in its resolution 63/181, urges States “to step up their efforts to protect and promote freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief, and to this end: […] (j) To ensure that all public officials and civil servants, including members of law enforcement bodies, the military and educators, in the course of fulfilling their official duties, respect all religions or beliefs and do not discriminate for reasons based on religion or belief, and that all necessary and appropriate education or training is provided”.
