E/CN.4/1992/52 page 127 "There is no known history of clashes between members of different religious denominations in our territory." Portugal "We do not know of any facts relating to the occurrence of clashes between members of different religions in Portugal. We would stress that the protection of people from religious intolerance is guaranteed by the Constitution and the criminal law. The new Criminal Code, approved in 1982, devotes one of its sections to offences against religious feelings (art. 220 to 224). Some of these articles correspond to provisions already contained in a decree which goes back to the time of the establishment of the Republic. That is the case with the crimes of religious constraint (art. 221), hindrance or disturbance of an act of worship (art. 222) and insult or offence to a minister of religion (art. 224). However, two other situations, which relate to the respect due to religious beliefs and faiths are covered in the new Criminal Code. They are outrages against religious beliefs and functions and against religious worship. Under article 220 of the Criminal Code, anybody who publicly outrages and ridicules another in a rude and gross manner because of his religious beliefs or functions is liable to a penalty of imprisonment for up to one year and a fine of up to 100 days. Anyone who profanes a place or object of worship or religious veneration is subject to the same penalty. Under article 223 of the Code, the same penalty is applicable to anyone who publicly ridicules an act of religious worship. In both cases an attempted offence is also punishable." Rwanda "No clashes of this kind have hitherto been known in the history of our country." "Religious clashes between members of different denominations do not often occur in our country."
