If
considerable progress has been made in the legal status
of
the right to freedom
of
religion and
belief
over the past two decades, reality still falls short
of
acknowledged
standards. Intolerance and religious extremism persist in the world, sometimes assume
dramatic proportions, and appear to threaten entire regions. This report provides adetailed
account
of
how the right to hold beliefs is understood, protected or denied throughout the
world, covering 58 countries, divided into regions each introduced by a regional overview,
and covering themes including: the relationships between belief groups and the State;
freedom to manifest belief in law and practice; religion and schools; religious minorities;
new religious movements; the impact
of
beliefs on the status
of
women; and the extent to
which conscientious objection to military service is recognised by governments.
