Such restrictions contradicted the terms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 18 of which stipulated that everyone had the right to freedom of religion, and that the right included freedom to change one's religion or belief.
此种限制与《世界人权宣言》的规定相矛盾，《宣言》第18条规定人人有宗教自由的权利，此项权利包括改变他的宗教或信仰的自由。
