A/HRC/52/38 8. Next report under the mandate 79. We live in a context where the promise of article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has not yet been realized, the promise of everyone’s entitlement to a social and international order in which rights and freedoms, including freedom of religion or belief, are realized. We face multifaceted challenges in securing this right, and States have the primary responsibility to promote and protect human rights, including the human rights of persons belonging to religious minorities, including their right to exercise their religion or belief freely.97 Article 2 of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief clarifies that no one is to be subject to discrimination by any State, institution, group of persons or person on the grounds of religion or belief, which establishes direct responsibilities of religious institutions, leaders and even each individual within religious or belief communities. 98 In addition, many other actors have and are being recognized as having a role, if not a responsibility, to promote and secure an environment where freedom of religion or belief can be enjoyed. The mandate holder’s will include an exploration of the significance of the role of other actors, at the national and local levels, to support State efforts in this regard, in her next report to the General Assembly. III. Recommendations 80. The Special Rapporteur recommends that States: (a) Achieve coherence in domestic and foreign policy efforts in this field to the highest extent possible through public advocacy, as well as the effective implementation of policy, legal and institutional measures; (b) Avoid singling out concern only with particular so-called “kin” religious or belief minorities, especially in foreign policy unless it addresses human rights violations that will also be raised in the case of others, as appropriate; (c) Ensure a good understanding of freedom of religion or belief among different authorities working in a variety of fields, mindful of the track record of activism across different fields, as discussed above; (d) Be mindful that, although religion in international affairs, the engagement of religious or belief leaders and communities and freedom of religion or belief overlap, they are not interchangeable; State engagements in the first two arenas should ensure respect for freedom of religion or belief, and all State initiatives should be inclusive and non-discriminatory; (e) Cooperate fully with the Special Rapporteur, in line with Human Rights Council resolution 49/5, including by providing substantive responses to communications received and responding favourably to requests for country visits. 81. The Special Rapporteur recommends that international organizations and multilateral institutions: (a) Weave freedom of religion or belief into all arenas of their work, mindful of the triple dimensions of this freedom, its wide scope and universality and the need to uphold it without discrimination; (b) Lend support and encouragement to other actors to grow their capacity and human-rights based work in this area; (c) Use a victim-centred approach, in responding to and seeking to prevent violations in given contexts, mindful that this is a universal human right for each and all, not a higher priority for “kin”, not reciprocal and not a tool for other ends; 97 98 GE.23-00741 General Assembly resolution 73/296, third preambular paragraph; and Human Rights Council resolution 49/5, seventh preambular paragraph.
