A/80/205 (a) Enhance legal frameworks and ensure that national policies are aligned with international human rights standards, particularly those outlined in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in order to guarantee religious freedom for refugees and migrants. Those efforts could be complemented by the establishment of clear legal safeguards for refugees, with a view to ensuring that they are not subject to discrimination based on their religion or belief; (b) Recognize that the State’s obligations to uphold freedom of religion or belief can never exclude migrants and people on the move – neither for reasons of political expediency nor for electoral exigencies; (c) Carry out tailored assessments with regard to the freedom of religion or belief of migrants and people on the move, and ensure that those assessments are followed by the implementation of corresponding laws and policies; (d) Enable and facilitate resettlement for those who have had to escape persecution on the basis of religion or belief; reduce the number of years, even decades, that they spend in limbo in transit States; and collaborate with religious and belief communities in that regard, including by exploring private sponsorship models alongside government-assisted sponsorship for resettlement;114 (e) Guarantee the right to nationality, as enshrined in international legal instruments, and refrain, under all circumstances, from revoking or denying citizenship on the basis of religion or belief; (f) Ensure that a freedom of religion or belief lens is adopted diligently in all their activities relating to migrants and people on the move; (g) Take positive measures to protect persons belonging to religious or belief minorities from displacement resulting from violence; and ensure that such instances are thoroughly investigated, that those responsible are brought to justice and that effective remedies, including guarantees of non-repetition, are duly provided to victims; (h) Integrate full respect for freedom of religion or belief as an integral part of strategies and programmes for durable solutions to displacement; (i) Protect the right of Indigenous Peoples to freedom of religion or belief, including in relation to their traditional lands; (j) Take positive measures to protect migrants, refugees and asylumseekers from discriminatory harassment and violence in relation to their religion or belief and protect their right to manifest their religion or belief, including in community with others and in public; take special measures to prevent discriminatory violence against religious or belief minorities in internally displaced person camps, refugee camps, asylum centres and other analogous areas; where feasible and sufficient data protection safeguards are implemented, collect disaggregated data relating to religion or belief in such situations; and work actively with religious or belief minorities and human rights defenders to identify threats, develop effective protection strategies and establish trust with domestic authorities so that any criminal investigations and proceedings and the provision of remedies may be effectively realized, with the full participation of victims and/or their families; __________________ 114 25-11829 Geoffrey Cameron, “Private sponsorship prefigured: religious groups and Canada’s cold war refugee policy”, Journal of Refugee Studies, vol. 38, No. 1 (March 2025). 19/23
