Deputy Minister Chmelař pointed to the growing intolerance in our societies and violations of religious freedom, including in the online world. Czech foreign human rights policy, based on the principles of equality and non-discrimination, promotes freedom of religion or belief and protection of individual members of religious minorities. The Czech Republic raises religious freedom issues in its statements in multilateral human rights fora and supports concrete projects; it also supports intercultural and inter-faith dialogue through organizing conferences and regular dialogue with countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
