Religious Freedom: International Cooperation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will take steps with international partners to help ensure that people are not subject to violence due to their religion.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The UK remains committed to championing freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all. No one should live in fear because of what they do or do not believe in, and we work to promote tolerance and mutual respect for all.
We continue to highlight FoRB violations and abuses on the international stage, including through our position at the UN and as an active member of the Article 18 Alliance, ensuring joint international action on FoRB.
We work with our allies and partners to encourage all states to uphold their international human rights obligations and hold those who violate or abuse human rights to account.
