related;- depending on different features or situation of a subject, either because of the observation of
religious holidays and days of rest, or other peculiarities (that may affected including the Jews, or
Christians as Seventh Day Adventists, Seventh Day Baptists or Muslims, etc.), etc. We may find:
discrimination, persecution and sentenced individuals, including for reasons of meeting of those belonging to
religious minorities with the members of their religion or belief; for the adoption or change of religion, etc.
In the Declaration on the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic
minorities - 1992, article 4, paragraph 2, provides that States "will adopt the necessary measures to ensure
that persons belonging to minorities can express their characteristics and develop their culture,
traditions, except in cases where specific practices are in violation of the National legislation and contrary
to international standards."
Y el articulo 6 de la Declaracion sobre Ica eliminacion de Codas las foams de intolerancia y
discriminacion fundadas en la religion o las convicciones, de 1981 subraya:
And Article 6 of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination
Based on Religion or Beliefs - 1981, highlights: „the right freedom of thought, conscience, religion or
belief shall include, inter alia, the following (9) freedoms:
(a)
To worship or assemble in connection with a religion or belief and' to establish and maintain
places for these purposes;
(b)
To establish and maintain appropriate charitable or humanitarian institutions;
(a) To make, acquire and use to an adequate extent the necessary articles and materials related to the rites or
customs of a religion or belief;
(d)
To write, issue and disseminate relevant publications in these areas;
(e)
To teach a religion or belief in places suitable for these purposes;
t) To solicit and receive voluntary financial and other contributions from individuals and institutions;
- (g) To train, appoint, elect or designate by succession approP hate leaders called for by the requirements and
standards of any religion or belief
(h) To observe days of rest and to celebrate holidays and ceremonies in accordance with the precepts of one
religion or belief
(z) .To establish and maintain communications with individuals and communities in matters of religion and belief
at the national and international levels".
I propose that Article 6 of the Declaration of 1981, which has a very important value against discrimination,
be included in this Document on the guarantee of the rights of religious minorities.
5. Grant special attention to a few different approaches
Para que la proteccion de los derechos de las minorias sean posible y real, creemos que se debe una
especial atencion a unos distintos enfoques como „circunstancias, factores historicos, culturales y
religiosos, sistemas politicos", para buscar medidas adecuadas (5).
In order for the protection of ininorites' rights to be possible and real, we believe that special attention is
due to some different approaches, as "circumstances,. historical, cultural and religious factors,
political systems", so to find appropriate measures (5).
"The States shall adopt appropriate legiSlative and other measures" and "tak e the necessary measures
to ensure that persons belonging to minorities may exercise effectively all their fundamental human
rights and freedoms, without any discrimination and in full equality before the law" (paragraph 10,
Project of recommendations).
6, We consider it necessary to require clear and intelligent measures in order to demand
responsibilities to the states or other actors who violate the rights of religious minorities or
their belonging found. And that the work of non-Governmental organizations should help
point out sensitive and troubling situations in our environment, with a view towards problem
solving.
Efficient measures on medium and long term:
