State sponsored actions Logos of Police Scotland and Safer Scotland State sponsored actions are far more serious than prejudice exhibited by individuals May breach international human rights standards (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights)

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) UK and all EU countries are legally bound signatories to Article 18 everyone has the right in public or private to manifest his religion in worship, observance, practice and teaching Article 19 Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice. Articles 18 and 19 may only be limited to respect of the rights or reputations of others, national security, public order, public health or morals. Article 20 prohibits governments from engaging in advocacy which may constitute incitement to either i) hostility ii) discrimination or iii) violence on grounds of religion.

DEVELOPMENT OF FREEDOM OF RELGION

WHY STATE SPONSORED PREJUDICE MATTERS (1) Freedom of religion can be reversed

FREEDOM OF RELIGION CAN BE REVERSED 1592 GREAT CHARTER OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND (General Assembly Act) - freedom to interpret the Bible without state interference - freedom from state interference in church appointments

1661 Acts of Scottish parliament - High treason to form an association without king’s special permission (meet to preach or worship outside established church) - Test Act excluded from church, civil and military office with further punishment All who by writing, printing, praying, preaching, or declare any words or sentences to stir up the people to hatred and dislike of his majesty’s royal prerogative and supremacy in causes ecclesiastical or of the government of the church by archbishops and bishop Covenanter struggle The killing time

WHY STATE SPONSORED PREJUDICE MATTERS (2) State sponsored actions Actions by individuals State sponsored prejudice… encourages and empowers… prejudice, discrimination and violence by individuals
