Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 38
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Some States either lack adequate legislation for the protection of the rights of religious minorities or limit the applicability of legislation to a few recognized religious groups. Other States have laws and policies in place that should facilitate the full range of religious minority activities, in private, in public and in community with others. Non-discrimination legislation is also frequently in place that should provide a platform to ensure equal treatment of all, including religious minorities, in such key areas as education, employment, access to goods and services, and access to judicial remedy. However, even where such legislation exists, in practice it is frequently poorly implemented or monitored.
