been disconnected – so its short&Random – The UN & granting refugee status…

On the subject of the UN charter and my interpretation on what was called “illeagal” religious instruction to a child and whether it pertains to the exclusion of a person as a refugee: as I interpret “illegal religious instruction to a child” in two ways. What, in terms of a Nations law would be regarded as “illegal”, and what terms would constitute prosecution of that crime, as then being perceived as persecution. As it is stated in the UNCHR, a person having fled a country from prosecution is excluded from being granted refugee status, however in context of religious persecution I find this exclusion to be inapplicable.

From the context of the law in the United States, I applied the guide to the allegation and prosecution of an FLDS member for sexual abuse against a minor, in which in his defense claimed the act to be a manner of religious instruction. As apprehensible a crime as the aforementioned, the context of persecution of the religious community is not proven. A religion is just that, a community, and the choice to be a part of a community is, in this country, a fundamental pillar. However, whether this crime would not exclude a person from having been granted status as a refugee, as it is the assumption that, having been from such a religious community in ones former nation, the safety being sought is in a nation that will have a similar religious community into which one can assimilate, to which both the community and the laws of the nation have formed lawful and safe agreement, to both the members and the rights to be free of persecution.
