Submission to the 35th Universal Periodic Review

Introduction

1. CSW is a human rights organisation specialising in the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB).

2. This submission seeks to draw the Council’s attention to grave human rights violations in the Republic of Kenya, committed between the period of 2015 and 2019, largely by non-state, but also by state actors.

3. During its second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2015, Kenya accepted a recommendation from Holy See to continue the implementation of anti-discrimination laws with regard to religion. This was the only recommendation the country received specific to FoRB.
