How is freedom of religion or belief monitored in practice? What are the most recent trends in Sweden and globally? In this mini-seminar, Linde Lindkvist and Göran Gunner offer insights into the preparations for international committee assessments. How is information collected and evaluated? Which actors contribute? How can insights from civil society and research be incorporated into the process? The discussion explores both the practical preparations and the role of assessments in identifying gaps and strengthening human rights protection, in particular when it comes to freedom of religion or belief.
