Revised text adopted for Sections 11 and 12 of Article 2 of the Convention on Human Rights presented to the Consultative Assembly by the Committee during the first Ordinary Session and referred back to the Committee for further study.

(11) All individuals and corporate bodies are entitled to respect for their property.

Such property shall not be liable to arbitrary confiscation. This shall not, however, in any way prejudice the right of the different States to enact such laws as may be necessary to ensure the use of this property for the public good.

(12) All persons are entitled to education.

The responsibilities assumed by the State with regard to education may not encroach on the right of parents to ensure the spiritual and moral instruction of their children in accordance with their own religious and philosophical beliefs.
