This document is the result of a project on missionary activities and human rights at the Oslo Coalition on Freedom of Religion and Belief (the Oslo Coalition). With human rights as a basis, the project aims to contribute to preventing conflicts arising from missionary activities. To this end and through a long consultative process a project group and its advisory committee have created this document of Recommended Ground Rules. The consultative process started in 2005 and has included a number of national and international seminars under the auspices of the Oslo Coalition, with representatives from Norwegian and foreign academic bodies, faith communities and missionary organisations
