Voorstel van wet van de leden Van der Ham, De Wit en Teeven tot wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met het laten vervallen van het verbod op godslastering

This legislative proposal seeks to remove the offense of blasphemy from the Dutch Criminal Code. The current law prohibits insulting or disrespecting religious beliefs, a provision that is considered outdated and potentially infringing on freedom of expression. Abolishing this law would affect all citizens by removing a restriction on speech related to religion. It aligns the Netherlands with many other European countries that do not have specific blasphemy laws.
