Informationen zum Autor Paul Taylor is a Barrister at Lincoln's Inn. Klappentext The scale and variety of acts of religious intolerance evident in so many countries today could not have been anticipated by the drafters of the core freedom of religion Articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention. This timely study is the first to attempt 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. Zusammenfassung Freedom of thought! conscience and religion is one of the core freedoms found in international human rights instruments at both UN and European level. This 2005 study is the first to provide a detailed critique of the standards applicable to freedom of religion within both the UN and Europe.
