34. 宗教或信仰自由问题特别报告员曾指出，无论是孤立地看待宗教(忽视人权机构以及政治和其他非宗教因素的重要性)，还是否认宗教动机对犯下或支持暴力行为可能发挥的作用(可能导致宗教群体及其领袖回应不足)，都无法充分解释“宗教名义的暴力行为”这一复杂现象。人们有时候把这种现象同极端主义暴力联系起来。74 对宗教的狭隘解读可能是一个原因，但宗教文本从来都是允许不同解读的。个人对解读自身信仰造成的实际后果负有最终责任。75 特别报告员回顾了导致或助长被视为宗教暴力行为的复杂因素，包括普遍腐败和裙带关系所引发的对公共体制的不信任、76 排斥政策77 以及有罪不罚、大事化小和不受法律惩罚现象。78 她肯定了对助长恐怖主义和极端主义的已知因素进行的更广泛的分析，鼓励各国利用现有资源解决治理、法治和反腐方面的缺陷；这方面的进展对于打击恐怖主义和暴力极端主义具有建设性作用，也符合人权理念。
34. The Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief has noted that neither an isolated focus on religion (which neglects the significance of human agency and political and other non-religious factors), nor a denial that religious motives could play a role in committing and supporting acts of violence (which might lead to inadequate responses from religious communities and their leaders) could fully explain the complex phenomenon of “violence committed in the name of religion”, which is sometimes associated with violent extremism.74 While narrow-minded interpretations of religions can play a role, religious texts can always accommodate different readings. Ultimately, individuals bear the responsibility for the practical consequences that they draw from the interpretation of their faith.75 The Special Rapporteur recalls the complex factors contributing to and dovetailing with what is viewed as religious violence, including the loss of trust in public institutions caused by endemic corruption and cronyism,76 policies of exclusion,77 as well as impunity, trivialization and legal impunity. 78 She affirms the broader analysis concerning the known factors conducive to terrorism and extremism and encourages States to use the resources they have to address deficits in governance, the rule of law and corruption; progress in that regard can be constructive and human rights compliant in combating terrorism and violent extremism.
