Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 80
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Protection of the security of religious minorities requires numerous positive actions on the part of States, particularly in situations of ongoing conflict or in which tensions are heightened or historic conflicts or grievances have occurred. Such actions include active engagement with religious minorities, full understanding of their situations and security concerns, the monitoring of non-State actors that might incite religious intolerance or violence, and the establishment of relevant oversight procedures and training programmes. In situations of conflicts involving religious minorities in which emergency laws, military courts or special security arrangements are in place, it is particularly necessary to ensure that the rights of religious minorities are protected in the context of those special security or emergency measures.
