Recognition of religion or belief in Congo, Republic of the
According to the SRR, conditions for RoRB in the Republic of the Congo are classified restrictive.

Overview:
Recognition and registration are amalgamated; legal registration is reduced only to singular religious buildings while denominations have few opportunity to achieve recognition.
A degree of politicisation of religious activity seems to exist, namely the use of religion for political ends.
The rule of mandatory registration is a violation of the Bielefeldt provision.
There exists some subjective terminology in the legislation that could be potentially misused.
Positive elements:
Horizontal recognition is in effect.
Recommendations:
Dissolve all restrictive policies, particularly the mandatory registration rule.
Reverse the ban on religious clothing that targets the Muslim community.
