The project seeks to motivate Chinese actors to bring the legislation and policies of the government of The People’s Republic of China in relation to religion and belief in line with international Human Rights standards.
The aim of this project was to contribute, on the basis of human rights, to the prevention of conflicts arising from missionary activities. The project focused on both governments and missionary societies and their roles in ensuring that international standards for human rights are met.
In a climate where the regulation of religion is increasingly used as an instrument in political power struggles, the growing politicisation of FoRB as a fundamental human right can have both negative and positive effects.
Since 2004, the Oslo Coalition has sought, through its project on Teaching for Tolerance, to develop a global interdisciplinary network to contribute to the following up of the recommendations of the Final Document of The 2001 Madrid Consultative Conference on School Education in Relation to Freedom of Religion or Belief.
