E/CN.4/1987/35 page 7 provides a non-exhaustive list of a number of freedoms stemming from the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief (art. 6 ) . The Declaration also stipulates that the rights and freedoms set forth in it "shall be accorded in national legislations in such a manner that everyone shall be able to avail himself of such rights and freedoms in practice" (art. 7 ) . 19. The Special Rapporteur's main task is therefore to assess the implementation of the Declaration at the practical level, drawing attention to the occurence and extent of incidents and actions inconsistent with its provisions (see chap. I V ) . The Special Rapporteur does not deem it appropriate, at the current stage of his work, to cite those countries in respect of which allegations of manifestations of intolerance in matters of religion or belief have been formulated. He believes that it would have been incompatible with the need for objectivity to cite countries without having previously communicated to them a description of the allegations concerning them so as to enable them to provide clarifications. The Special Rapporteur considers that priority should be given to identifying the problems and stressing their extent and the seriousness of their implications. The highlighting of these problems in a way that takes into account the requirement for discretion and independence stipulated in Commission on Human Rights resolution 1986/20 may in itself help to initiate a process to enable intolerance and discrimination to be redressed. Clearly, such a process could not be carried through to a successful conclusion unless all the parties concerned are firmly resolved to implement a number of specific measures. The Special Rapporteur has therefore attempted, in conformity with his mandate, to recommend measures for redressing situations that reveal inconsistencies with the provisions of the Declaration (see chap. V ) .
