A/HRC/4/21/Add.2 page 17 91. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur believes that the right to freedom of expression as protected by international standards provides a certain latitude for religious communities in the drafting and dissemination of their literature, even in cases where they do not agree with other religions, provided that they do not raise to the level of incitement to religious hatred as prohibited by article 20 of the Covenant. VII. RECOMMENDATIONS 92. The Government should primarily ensure that all individuals who may have been the victim of violations of their right to freedom of religion or belief or of other human rights because of their religion or belief receive appropriate redress, including through a judicial procedure.

Moreover, the procedure of registration of religious associations should be more transparent, including regarding the timeframe of the process. In case of refusal of registration, the relevant institutions have an obligation to formally transmit to the
