Freedom of religion or belief: a universal human right
What are human rights?
One right that each of us has, wherever we live and whatever we believe, is the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief.
Enshrined in international law but often overlooked, misunderstood or misrepresented, this right protects everyone: women and men, believers, atheists, agnostics, sceptics, and the religiously indifferent.
As part of its mandate, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) works to increase the understanding of this far-reaching but little-known right - freedom of religion or belief (FoRB).
