PETITION

The Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, Archbishop Richard Moth, has added his voice to a campaign calling on the UN and governments worldwide to urgently take action to guarantee the rights of people targeted for their faith.
Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees everyone the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. Yet across the world, this fundamental right is under threat.
