ensures protections to those confessing a religion or belief different from the predominant religious group, and drafting laws and regulations punishing the incitement to religious hatred and violence  The government should consider withdrawing the Ordinance 06-03 adopted as a law on April 2006, enforced since February 2008, in contradiction with the article (2.1) of the declaration, which limits the practice of faiths other than the main stream, controls the importation of religious texts, and orders fines and punishments for individuals who shakes the faith of Muslims.  National human rights institutions in collaboration with the governmental institutions should ensure the promotion and implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, by implementing educational programs promoting the culture of peace and religious tolerance.  We encourage Algeria to continue its constructive dialogue with religious minorities' leaders, for a better implementation of the declaration.
