". The report which Mr Sacrédeus referred to has not been discussed by any groups associated with the Council. The European Union Annual Report on Human Rights illustrates our clear position on freedom of religion and action taken on this basis. The Union seizes, I believe, every opportunity to urge States to pursue laws and procedures which promote tolerance and mutual respect. Concerns over the freedom of religion are regularly expressed to all the governments in question, both in bilateral and multilateral forums such as the annual meetings of the United Nations Human Rights Commission and the Third Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations. At the most recent session of the Commission on Human Rights the Union expressed, moreover, its deep concern over the implementation of basic international human rights standards in Saudi Arabia, including the continual restrictions on the freedom of religion and expression and systematic discrimination against women. At the 59th Session of the Commission on Human Rights, as in previous years, the Union supported the Resolution, tabled by the Irish Government to be precise, on the Elimination of all Forms of Religious Intolerance, where States are urged to adopt the necessary actions to combat hate, intolerance, violence and duress on grounds of religious or spiritual beliefs."@en1
