<p>Her Majesty's Government remains firmly committed to the promotion and protection
of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in all countries.</p><p>We regularly discuss
issues related to FoRB with foreign governments. For example, we raise our concerns
when practices and laws discriminate against people on the basis of their religion
or belief. We also raise individual cases. We work to sustain consensus on the adoption
and implementation of the key UN Resolutions sponsored by the European Union and the
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation at the UN Human Rights Council. We support projects
through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights
and Democracy. In October 2016, the FCO hosted a groundbreaking international conference
to highlight the relevance of FRoB to global efforts to counter violent extremism.</p>
