This document considers the aspects of the analysis of limits in the exercise of the right to religious freedom, worship and conscience, it is an issue of special relevance considering that it is not an "unrestricted and erga omnes" right because there are limits based on respect for the rights of others. It is necessary to promote a culture of respect and tolerance for fundamental freedoms of religion, worship and conscience, promote interreligious dialogue through the design, socialization and implementation of the Fundamental Public Policy on Religious Freedom in Bogota, which constitutes the full exercise of the guarantees established by the International Standards as well as the Colombian Political Constitution, to ensure the recognition and benefits of the practice of the fundamental right to religious freedom, worship and conscience in the various families existing today in society, for which it is also necessary to make the right visible, prevent, denounce and punish those who violate it.
