E/CN.4/2002/73/Add.1 page 34 158. The Special Rapporteur recommends that, during the discussion and elaboration of the bill on freedom of religion prepared by the Secretary of Worship, due account should be taken of the concerns set out above as regards respect for the principle of non-discrimination in the manner in which the State and State institutions treat the various communities of religion and belief. It is necessary to take time to consult all those involved more thoroughly and to review more comprehensively the provisions which have given rise to misunderstandings (for example, article 7 of the bill contains an over-vague definition of practices which may serve as grounds for not registering a body, such as magic, physical or mental exercises and parapsychological techniques, whereas such activities can constitute traditional practices that have formed part of various manifestations of religion for centuries. This article offers much too much room for judgement and hence a discretionary power which may by used in a discriminatory manner). Incidents relating to religion or belief 159. Concerning the attacks which affected the Jewish community (against the Embassy of Israel and AMIA, the skinheads affair, the affair of the conductor Merenson, desecration of graves), the Muslim community (attacks on mosques) and the Christian communities (arson in Protestant churches and an attack in an Armenian school), the Special Rapporteur recommends that investigations should continue to identify those responsible and that justice should take its course within a reasonable period. It is also important that the security measures introduced by the authorities to guarantee protection of community premises should be maintained and upgraded, so as to prevent any future attacks as far as possible. The Special Rapporteur considers that it is not possible to demand absolute security and at the same time complain that protection measures single one community out, as some in the Jewish community claim. 160.

Basic freedom of the press should be subject to limits when it generates real intolerance, which is the antithesis of freedom. It is not acceptable for some of the media to take refuge behind the basic principle of freedom in order to pervert it. The Special Rapporteur recommends the application of criminal and financial penalties for all calls to hatred issued through the media. It is also necessary to enable prosecutors to make use of simplified procedures to initiate proceedings against those perpetrating such offences through the press. The Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendations concerning action to be taken within the context of the technical cooperation programmes of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (E/CN.4/1995/91, para. 215) and specifically the organization of workshops for media representatives to acquaint them with the importance of disseminating information in conformity with the principles of tolerance and non-discrimination, in general, and in the field of religion or belief, in particular. Lastly, the Special Rapporteur recommends that prizes should be created for awarding to journalists who have written articles on minorities, religion or belief, in accordance with the principles mentioned above. 161. Concerning cases and situations where freedom of belief is violated, specifically those relating to obligatory prayers and religious ceremonies in State educational establishments, the Special Rapporteur recommends respect for international law in this matter, in other words, the
