In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) in Article XVIII it is deemed that Every person has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; This right includes the freedom to change religion or belief and the freedom to manifest that religion or belief for the purposes of teaching, practice, worship and observance, individually or collectively, in public or in private.
