France’s Policy Against “Sects” Disavowed by the Council of Europe

1,388 views

The project of a “European Observatory on sects” and forging a “European consensus” on the issue of “sects” has failed

– The Recommendation did not obtain 2/3 of the votes (28 for, 18 against and 13 abstentions) and was not adopted. It aimed to:

1.3. seek to improve co-operation at European level with a view to implementing joint activities to prevent excesses of sects and protect minors against them.
