Religious Freedom World Report

Prepared by the International Coalition for Religious Freedom

Jamaica

The Jamaican Constitution of 1962 guarantees freedom of thought and religion and freedom of religious practice including the freedom to change one’s religious beliefs and to manifest and propagate one’s faith. The Constitution states, however, that the rights of religious freedom shall not be held in contradiction to laws reasonably required for "defense, public safety, public order, public morality, or public health, or for the purpose of protecting the rights of other persons, including the right to observe and practice one’s religion without the unsolicited intervention of members of any other religion."
