Background
Current legislation and policies of the PRC government limit the freedom of religions and belief groups beyond what is considered allowable on the basis of Human Rights conventions. Relevant conventions such as the ICCPR have yet not been ratified by the PRC. The Oslo Coalition has identified sections of the PRC society may have a certain potential in promoting reform in relation to freedom of religion or belief, and has been working with these partners over the years.
