E/CN.4/2006/5/Add.1 Page 39 Observations 147. The Special Rapporteur expresses her concern at not having received any response from the Government. She urges the Government to provide her a detailed reply concerning the communications sent as soon as possible. 148. She would like to point out that article 4(g) of Resolution 2005/40 of the Commission on Human Rights urges States t o ensure that all public officials and civil servants, including members of law enforcement bodies, in the course of their official duties, respect different religions and beliefs and do not discriminate on the grounds of religion or belief. In addition article 10 of the Resolution emphasizes the importance of a continued and strengthened dialogue among and within religions or beliefs to promote greater tolerance, respect and mutual understanding. 149. With regard to the problem of conversion, the Special Rapporteur would like to draw attention to paragraph 5 of General Comment 22 of the Human Rights Committee which provides that, “the freedom to "have or to adopt" a religion or belief necessarily entails the freedom to choose a religion or belief, including the right to replace one's current religion or belief with another or to adopt atheistic views, as well as the right to retain one's religion or belief.” In addition the Special Rapporteur would like to refer to paragraphs 40 to 68 of her previous report to the General Assembly (A/60/399) where she addressed the question of conversion as well as missionary activities and propagation of religion. In particular, she underlined that “[m]issionary activities and other forms of propagation of religion are part of the right to manifest one’s religion or belief. They may be limited only under restrictive conditions, and the Special Rapporteur disapproves of the criminalization of certain acts specific to the propagation of one’s religion”. 150. She would furthermore like to draw attention to paragraph 21 of General Comment 28 of the Human Rights Committee which provides that article 18 of may not be relied on to justify discrimination against women by reference to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Indonesia Communication sent on 25 January 2005 151. The Special Rapporteur had been informed that a hard line Islamic group had warned that Christian groups which assisted in aid efforts after the tsunami should not try to convert orphaned children in Aceh. The head of the radical Islamic Defenders Front, Hilmy Bakar Almascaty, allegedly warned an Australian Catholic group called Youth off the Streets that its plan to set up an orphanage in Aceh, the only Indonesian province to have fully implemented Muslim sharia law, would be unwelcome if it involved attempted conversion. Hilmy's organization, known as FPI, was reportedly better known for smashing up bars and nightclubs in Jakarta and elsewhere deemed to be un-Islamic. FPI was allegedly moving thousands of volunteers to help in the reconstruction of Aceh and to guard against foreign influence from the thousands of foreign military and aid workers delivering humanitarian assistance to the region.
