Digital version available on Google Play

Freedom of thought, conscience and religion is a condition of good governance, important for believers and non-believers alike. It is a civilizational objective and criterion. Its protection is a precondition of sustainable development. Why? Development is another name for peace. Peace is the fruit of justice. Justice is based on respect of fundamental human rights for all. Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is a very central right. Art. 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is in the middle of all the universal human rights
(HRs). It combines our freedom implemented individually and in community, in private and in public. It is a litmus test of all HRs: if it is not respected other rights suffer the same fate.
FoRB represents human dignity – the foundational principle of the HRs. Dignity expresses my uniqueness, originality, my rights but also my duties towards the other and towards the community I am living in
