Freedom of religion or belief builds security

International human rights treaties purposefully exclude national security as a legitimate aim for restricting freedom of religion or belief. While security is often associated with politics or military protection, the OSCE’s approach adds the concept of a human dimension of which freedom of religion or belief is part. In this video, Dmytro Vovk,  member of the OSCE/ODIHR Panel of Experts on Freedom of Religion or Belief, explains why freedom of religion or belief should not be abandoned in light of security challenges, but should be reinforced.

English, French and Russian subtitles are available for this video.
