Through a partnership with the Tolerance and Diversity Institute and the UNDP in Georgia, the Oslo Coalition on Freedom of Religion or Belief, NCHR is organizing a blended learning course on national and international standards and mechanisms for the protection of freedom of religion or belief as a fundamental human right.
This symposium will bring together scholars and researchers from various fields of social sciences, the humanities and law to share and exchange their experiences and research results with respect to the aspects of the limits encountered when striving to promote the right to Freedom of Religion or Belief.
Together with the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, the NCHR was part of the official inauguration ceremony celebrating the establishment of the Center for Law and Religion at Bauch State University in Nigeria.
The Oslo Coalition is planning an open lecture with Fr. Cyril Hovorun, Professor of Theology and Orthodox priest from Ukraine. He will discuss how religion has become politicized in Russia and how Orthodoxy is shaping politics and political theology in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Oslo Coalition's second book in the series on new directions in Islam is now released. The book Gender and Equality in Muslim Family Law: Justice and Ethics in the Islamic Legal Tradition was launched with a panel discussion and reception at SOAS in London on April 27, 2013, in cooperation with the Centre of Middle Eastern and Islamic Law (CIMEL).
