In a comprehensive report released today, the Coordination des Associations et des Particuliers pour la Liberté de Conscience (CAP LC), a non-governmental organization with ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations, has detailed its unwavering efforts to promote and defend the universal principles of freedom of conscience, religion, and belief throughout the past year.
The report highlights CAP LC’s extensive engagement with the United Nations Human Rights Council, including its participation in the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th sessions, where the organization addressed a wide range of human rights concerns in countries around the world. From addressing issues of intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief to advocating for the rights of minority communities, CAP LC has been a vocal champion for religious freedom on the global stage.
The report also outlines the organization’s involvement in the Universal Periodic Review process, as well as its broader advocacy initiatives at the UN, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to combating religious persecution and upholding the fundamental human rights of all individuals.
Furthermore, the document sheds light on CAP LC’s activities at the European Parliament, where the organization has organized events and discussions focused on issues related to religious freedom, minority rights, and women’s rights in countries such as France, Iran, and Sudan.
“This comprehensive report underscores our steadfast dedication to defending the freedom of conscience, religion, and belief across the globe,” said a spokesperson for CAP LC. “Through our tireless advocacy efforts at the United Nations and the European Parliament, we will continue to amplify the voices of the marginalized and work tirelessly to create a more just and equitable world for all.”
As the international community grapples with complex human rights challenges, the release of this report serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role that civil society organizations like CAP LC play in championing the fundamental freedoms that are the bedrock of a democratic society.
