E/CN.4/1993/62 page 40 (a) The internal matters of each religion; (b) The relation between and among the adherents; (c) The relation between the adherents and the Government. 4. A provision in Article 1 of Law No. 1/PNPS/1965 on the Prevention of Abuse and/or the Defiling of Religions, prohibits anyone who deliberately makes interpretations of any of the recognized religions in Indonesia or publicly engages in activities which deviate from those religions; such interpretations and activities being contrary to, and deviating from the true teachings of those religions. II. Allegations contained in the communication 5. The allegations contained in the annex of your communication are too general and do not specifically refer to any particular case. 6. As we have already stated in our previous responses to similar allegations, the Baha’i faith is banned in Indonesia by Governmental Decree of 1962 since its teachings and practices are contrary to, and deviating from the teachings of Islam, particularly with regard to its practices and beliefs, including those of marriage. 7. The prohibition of the Baha’i movement in Indonesia is not because of intolerance on the part of the Government of Indonesia but, on the contrary, it is precisely to maintain peace and harmony between and among the adherents of various religions. Without any Government control in this matter, the activities of the Baha’i movement may create disturbances and disrupt the existing religious tolerance. 8. The above action taken by the Government, therefore, is merely the appropriate measure which should be taken to maintain order and safety as well as the fundamental rights and freedoms of others, in conformity with Article 1 paragraph 3 of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief which reads as follows: ’Freedom to manifest one’s religion or belief may be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others’. 9.
