Motion text

That this House reaffirms its commitment in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to defending the right of individuals to enjoy religious freedom; notes with profound concern that around the world today growing numbers of individuals are denied this fundamental right by totalitarian regimes and/or religious extremists of a different faith; welcomes the recent coming together of members of both Houses, all political parties and of all faiths and none to inaugurate the All-Party Parliamentary Group on International Religious Freedom; and supports the Group in its mission to highlight religious persecution wherever in the world it may occur in order to stem the rising tide of religious intolerance, which threatens the life and freedom of individuals and the cohesion of whole societies.
