ARTICLE 1: LEGAL DEFINITION

 

 

The first article of the 1981 U.N. Declaration repeats Article 18 of the ICCPR, which is the international legal framework for matters relating to freedom of religion or belief. Communities live by constitutional or legal frameworks of their countries. Preparation for a community report first requires an understanding of how to compare Article 1 of the 1981 U.N. Declaration with your own national constitution or legal framework.
