Fading Belief: Addressing the Lacunae in the Right to Religious Worship in Sri Lanka - Presentation

Abstract

This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) and the registration of places of worship (POW) in Sri Lanka, highlighting areas where legal and policy improvements are needed to ensure the protection of this fundamental right. It examines how government policies, legal ambiguities, and administrative barriers contribute to restricting FoRB and disproportionately impact religious minorities.
