Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a coalition advocacy campaign (End Blasphemy Laws, run by Humanists International and member organizations) compiling and dating each country's statutory sections rather than a government or scholarly text, useful for its citation trail to the underlying Penal Code sections rather than for its own framing, matching this project's established tier for the same publisher's other country pages.
