Forum 18 News Service – shedding light on Religious Freedom
Forum 18 News Service is named after Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the similar Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a core international human rights treaty. We work for freedom of religion or belief for all on the basis of these articles.
Forum 18 is a partner of Stefanus Alliance and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, and provides truthful, original, detailed, and accurate monitoring and analysis of violations of freedom of thought, conscience and belief in Central Asia, Russia, Russian-occupied Ukraine, government-held Ukraine, Belarus, and the South Caucasus.
