Aviso importante sobre seguridad
Los derechos sobre los que les informarán los recursos de esta plataforma  son los derechos que prevé el Derecho internacional. Según lo establecido en el Derecho internacional, ningún Estado, organización, comunidad religiosa o de creencias o persona puede retirarles estos derechos a otras personas. No obstante, en algunos contextos nacionales, el ejercicio de estos derechos es ilegal o arriesgado. A la hora de utilizar los recursos, es importante comprobar qué leyes se aplican en su contexto y analizar cómo se relacionan con el Derecho internacional. Para la labor de educar a otras personas, es importante recordar que puede ser peligroso hablar de derechos humanos en general o de libertad de religión o de creencias en concreto. Por favor, adapten el uso de los recursos a sus destinatarios y tengan en cuenta los factores de riesgo. Proporcionamos guiones de todos nuestros vídeos para que puedan adaptar los contenidos a lo que sea adecuado para cada contexto. 

Film resources

Film is a great way to learn and share knowledge. Our three sets of human rights education films are ideal for personal study, online staff training or group trainings. Or why not flip the classroom and get participants to watch films in advance and come to your training prepared! Available in a variety of languages.

For legislators, officials and diplomats

Human rights duty bearers have a major responsibility for protecting and promoting the human rights of all people. Here you'll find resources specifically tailored to help you in your task as a decision maker (or in your work to support decision makers). 

For the media

The media has a huge impact on freedom of religion or belief and it's not always positive. Here we are gathering guidelines, recommendations and inspiration for journalists and film makers. 

Written resources

Sometimes it's good to have information in writing! Here we've gathered a range of learning resources connected to the three themes (introductory learning, access to justice, working to promote the right). Helpful to read yourself or as hand-outs or discussion materials for a training. Some resources are available in languages other than English.

Resources for theological and ethical reflection

A growing collection of resources for faith and belief communities to help with reflection on how the human right to freedom of religion or belief relates to the theology or ethical stance of the community. 

Country information

Here you'll find links to organisations that provide original reserach on the situation for freedom of religion or belief for all, or for particular groups. 

For educators and facilitators

Here you can find group exercises, hand-outs, suggested programmes for training events and other resources for leading group learning. You'll also find the scripts of our films to enable you adapt the contents to your own context, creating your own presentations.

In more depth

Here you'll find links to human rights conventions and declarations, to relevant UN and regional human rights bodies and processes, such as the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Universal Periodic Review, as well as longer articles about about freedom of religion or belief and cross-cutting issues such as freedom of expression and women's rights.
