2,607 views France’s Policy Against “Sects” Disavowed by the Council of Europe thumbnail

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:

1.1. conduct a study about the scale of the phenomenon of sects affecting minors at European level, on the basis of information provided by the member States;

1.2. set up a working group to exchange information between member States on excesses of sects affecting minors and to develop good practices for preventing the problem; and

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.
