Comments and measures
With regard to Tibet, the Special
Rapporteur recommends that the
balances and compromises required by
social dynamics be reached, so as to
avoid the deeply religious being
tempted by religious extremism.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that
religious figures who have served
their sentences for "counterrevolutionary acts" should no longer
be banned from entering places of
worship. Furthermore, he recommends
that a reasonable balance be worked
out between the number of students of
religion and the quality, duration and
time set aside for their instruction.
Likewise, the basically religious
function of places of worship and the
aim of making them financially
independent should be made reasonably
compatible.
The Special Rapporteur wishes to
stress the importance of giving State
officials and judges adequate human
rights training, especially on the
subject of religious freedom. He
recommends that the technical
assistance and advisory services of
the Centre for Human Rights should
help in this area.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that
the principal texts on religious
freedom should be posted in the
administrative services concerned.
Furthermore, the publication and
distribution of a compendium of texts
on religious freedom, including
implementing instructions, is strongly
recommended. The distribution of
documentation about human rights to
all religious institutions would also
be desirable. The Special Rapporteur
also recommends that citizens and
institutions be informed about appeal
procedures available in the event of a
refusal to register religious
organizations.
