Abstract

Colombia’s government through the President of the Republic, the Ministry of the Interior and the territorial entities, have adopted throughout history some guidelines and/or actions through public policies, and in this case, the Integral Public Policy of Religious Freedom; which serves as a guide for the materialization and protection of fundamental rights such as religious freedom and worship, freedom of conscience, right to equality, right to participation; and the fulfillment of the essential purposes of the state. For that reason, within the framework of their competence previously established by international treaties ratified by Colombia, the Political Constitution, laws, decrees, jurisprudence and other related norms, they must advance strategies and mechanisms that promote the implementation of this public policy in the Colombian territory. So that way, the actions of state entities adapt to the new realities and needs that are emerging in religious matters and related to t concepts like diversity, pluralism, equity, and participation, directed on this occasion to Meta department.
