Statute overview

About this statute

This provision identifies Law 133 of 1994 and states that it develops the constitutional right to religious freedom and worship in Colombia. The State guarantees freedom of religion and worship and says it must be interpreted consistently with ratified international human rights treaties. Las iglesias y confesiones religiosas no pueden ser oficiales o estatales, y el Poder Público debe proteger las creencias religiosas, facilitar la participación religiosa en el bien común y mantener relaciones armónicas con ellas. El Estado debe reconocer la diversidad de las creencias religiosas, y las confesiones religiosas e Iglesias son igualmente libres ante la ley. The exercise of religious freedom and worship is limited only by other people’s public freedoms and fundamental rights, and by public safety, health, and morality.
