The OSCE participating States have made clear that their increased efforts to combat terrorism will not affect their commitments on religious freedom. The Bucharest Ministerial Declaration (2001), for example, stated that “the struggle against terrorism is not a war against religions”, while the Bucharest Ministerial Decision on Combating Terrorism reiterated that efforts to combat terrorism must fully respect human rights. The participating States firmly rejected “identification of terrorism with any nationality or religion”.42 Alleged violations of freedom of religion or belief are frequently raised at OSCE Human Dimension Meetings. Individual complaints of violations of the right to freedom of conscience, religion, or belief are a legitimate issue to be followed up by OSCE field missions. In addition to the measures set out in Part III, OSCE field operations receiving complaints of religious-freedom violations can consider requesting that the ODIHR provide assistance through its Advisory Panel of Experts on Freedom of Religion or Belief. Such assistance could include advice, provision of an expert to discuss religious-freedom issues with the host government, or the development of projects to improve respect for religious freedom.43 5.8 FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, MEDIA, AND INFORMATION OSCE participating States have adopted the commitment that “everyone will have the right to freedom of expression including the right to communication. This right will include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers”.44 In this field, OSCE participating States have also committed themselves:  To respect freedom of the press and media, including the right of the media to collect, report, and disseminate information, news, and opinions;  Not to discriminate against independent media with respect to access to information, material, and facilities;  To take no measures aimed at barring journalists from the legitimate exercise of their profession;  Not to impose limitations on access to, and use of, means of reproducing documents of any kind. 42 For more on OSCE commitments in connection with terrorism, see Porto Ministerial 2002, Decision No. 1, Imple- menting the OSCE Commitments and Activities on Combating Terrorism and the OSCE Charter on Preventing and Combating Terrorism, both available on the OSCE website at http://www.osce.org. 43 More information can be found on the ODIHR website at http://www.osce.org/odihr. 44 Copenhagen Document, Paragraph 9.1. 55 5
