The Religious Recognition Project
Recognition
of your belief identity is your human right.
RoRB Defined:
Recognition of religion or belief, also called religious recognition, is the principle that state and social recognition of citizens' belief identities as well as physical religious activity determines a country's overall conditions of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). RoRB is fourfold, it is...
-
an approach to the provision and protection of human rights that focuses on how the power of state recognition to influence the role of religion and belief in society can be used to enhance conditions of FoRB (called recognitionism).
-
the body of laws and policies that underpin how a country recognises the religious activities of its citizens (called recognition law).
-
the theory on human rights that reveals how national recognition systems are misused around the world to perpetuate violations of FoRB (called systematic misuse of recognition).
-
the method aiming for a sustainable form of recognition that centres on establishing an intermediary agency independent of state control that recognises belief identities and registers GBoBs and BBOs both fairly and authentically (called facilitationism).
The mandate of The Religious Recognition Project is to monitor both government and human action regarding how religion and belief are recognised, registered or otherwise treated in society.
Cometan, The Religious Recognition Project
