Thomas Schirrmacher lectures virtually on Werner Nel’s “Grievous religious persecution” at University of Johannesburg together with Heiner Bielefeld
A professorship dedicated to the topic of “religious freedom and research on persecution of Christians” is a novelty in German speaking areas. At the inauguration special emphasis was placed on the universality of the human right to freedom of religion or belief and its positive implications.
The International Institute of Religious Freedom published all the 12 official reports to the UN Human Rights Council of the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religions and Belief, presented by the present United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Heiner Bielefeldt. Each report has its own specific topic like religious minorities, apostasy and blasphemy, conversion, women’s rights, or school education.
