Freedom of Religion
By
Paul M. Taylor
Description
The scale and variety of acts of
religious intolerance evident in so many countries today are of
enormous contemporary concern. This timely study attempts a thorough
and systematic treatment of both Universal and European practice. The
standards applicable to freedom of religion are subjected to a
detailed critique, and their development and implementation within
the UN is distinguished from that within Strasbourg, in order to
discern trends and obstacles to their advancement and to highlight
the rationale for any apparent departures between the two systems.
This dual focus also demonstrates the acute need for the European
Court to heed the warnings from various patterns of violation
throughout the world illustrated by the Human Rights Committee and
the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.
• The first major work to compare
UN and European standards regarding freedom of religion •
Simple, clear format and detailed thematic analysis makes the text
readily accessible for research purposes • Compendious citation
of UN and European authorities on each issue are considered
