Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 30
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (see General Assembly resolution 2200 A (XXI), annex) provides that in those States in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right, in community with the other members of their group, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practise their own religion, or to use their own language. Article 27, which is the most important, is a legally binding treaty provision dedicated to minorities. Its scope extends beyond freedom of religion or belief, while fully preserving the substance of the provisions of article 18 on freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Nazila Ghanea, however, has pointed out the dearth of consideration of religious minorities as minorities in the jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee on article 27 and their overall exclusion to date from consideration under article 27.
