A/HRC/19/60 should therefore be quick, transparent, fair, inclusive and non-discriminatory. If States furthermore decide to provide for specific status positions connected with particular financial and other privileges, they should make sure that such a specific status does not amount to de jure or de facto discrimination of adherents to other religions or beliefs. With regard to the concept of an official “State religion”, the Special Rapporteur argues that it seems difficult, if not impossible, to conceive of an application of this concept that in practice does not have adverse effects on religious minorities, thus discriminating against their members. Furthermore, specific status positions given by the State to certain religious or belief communities should never be instrumentalized for purposes of national identity politics, as this may have detrimental effects for the situation of individuals from minority communities. 2
