Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 45
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Certain religious minorities unfortunately experience denial or deprivation of citizenship as a policy of discrimination, partly or wholly on the grounds of their religion or belief, with severe implications for the enjoyment of all their human rights (see A/HRC/7/23, paras. 49-70, and A/63/161, paras. 25-78). Unless legitimate grounds exist, in line with international standards, non-discrimination obligations demand that citizenship be granted on an equal basis to all.
