The Collective Dimension of Freedom of Religion

A Case Study on Turkey

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The right to freedom of religion or belief, as enshrined in international human rights documents, is unique in that it provides protection for the enjoyment of the rights "in community with others". It cannot be realized in isolation. This book explores the notion of the collective dimension of freedom of religion or belief with a view to advance the protection of this right. The book considers Turkey which provides a useful test case where both the domestic legislation can be assessed against international standards, while at the same time lessons can be drawn for the improvement of the standard of international review of the protection of the collective dimension of freedom of religion.
