Estonia (52th Session)

This report highlights the incompatibility of Bill 232 SE on Amendments to the Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Code of Misdemeanour Procedure (hereinafter ‘hate speech bill’) with Estonia’s obligations regarding the right to freedom of opinion and expression under international law. Additionally, it examines recent developments concerning assisted suicide and underscores the urgent need for Estonia to fulfill its obligation to respect and protect the right to life, as enshrined in core international human rights treaties.

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
