C/S/110. In light of the almost universal adoption of the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, is there a need for a similar treaty arrangement prohibiting discrimination based on religion or belief?

The paper investigates the relationship between individual religion as a fundamental human right and the culture of religious groups that threaten other's security. The position of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Race Convention) is discussed with regard to religion, race and culture. The need for legislation prohibiting discrimination against all forms of religion is argued considering that it can protect immoral groups and cults.
