The Commonwealth Advisory Bureau are looking for a consultant to prepare a report on religious freedom in the Commonwealth countries, and one the tasks would be to “highlight best practice, including for example the South African Charter of Religious Rights and Freedoms”. This Charter is problematic, to put it mildly - one of its clauses says:
“Every person has the right to religious dignity, which includes not to be victimised, ridiculed or slandered on the ground of their faith, religion, convictions or religious activities. No person may advocate hatred that is based on religion, and that constitutes incitement to violence or to cause physical harm.” (charter linked for download here: http://fsi.org.za/south-african-charter-religious-rights-freedoms/ ).
The second sentence is fine, but the first absurd in its protection of religious sensibilities. If you know of anyone who might want to take this consultancy on, please forward this to them - the job pays 1300+ GBP.
