E/CN.4/1992/52 page 132 The provisions of the Egyptian Constitution in this connection are based on the principles of freedom of religion and belief, non-discrimination among citizens in this regard, and the guarantee by the State of freedom of religious observance. Accordingly, the position adopted by the Egyptian Constitution is in keeping with the practice of the international community, as defined in the international covenants and conventions concerning human rights and freedoms. Moreover, the role of the Egyptian legislature in the formulation of these principles was not confined to the promulgation of constitutional provisions since, as already indicated, those principles have been granted legal protection through the designation as criminal offences of all acts which prejudice or infringe them and through the prescription of penalties to deter the perpetrators of such acts. The above provisions clearly show the extent of the respect and freedom which religions enjoy in Egypt and which is guaranteed by the Constitution and protected by law." Guinea "Yes! As already stated, Guiñean law does not tolerate the expression of extremist opinions. In article 20, paragraph 3, the Fundamental Law states that 'every citizen has a duty to respect other people and their opinions'." Haiti "As stated under item 6, the exercise of religious faiths must not violate law and order or disturb the peace. The State reserves the right to intervene if they are endangered." Iceland "No, as there has been no motivation to take such steps." Iran (Islamic Republic of) "Within Iran there is no conflict among followers of different branches of Islam and other recognized religions." Ireland "Protection against 'the expression of extremist or fanatical opinions' is afforded under Irish law." "1. The State of Israel recognizes that the expression in words or actions of extremist or fanatical opinions may lead to religious discrimination which may threaten the democratic principles upon which the State was established. Therefore the State of Israel has taken legal and judicial measures to limit the expression of extremism which may lead to religious intolerance. In limiting the expression of such views the Israeli courts have been careful to give the appropriate consideration to freedom of expression.
