According to the text, which statement correctly describes the position of freedom of religion under the I.C.C.P.R.?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. It is non-derogable, yet the manifestation of religion can still be limited in ordinary times under Article 18(3).
Explanation
The text stresses that non-derogable does not always mean absolute. Freedom of religion is non-derogable under the I.C.C.P.R., but the manifestation of religion can still be limited in ordinary times under Article 18(3). The ban on torture, not freedom of religion, is given as the clearest example of an absolute right.
- Legal provision:
- Article 4 and Article 18(3), I.C.C.P.R.
