The freedom to manifest one’s religion includes the freedom for members of religious communities to establish and maintain religious, charitable or humanitarian institutions.
The World Evangelical Alliance addresses challenges to the legal recognition and registration of religious communities, and invites the Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of religion or belief to share best practices in the legal recognition and registration of religious communities in her thematic reports and country visit reports.
The oral statement was made at the Human Rights Council 52nd session, during the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, on 13 March 2023.
