Freedom of Religion under the European Convention on Human Rights

Freedom of religion and belief is one of the central rights set out in international human rights treaties and yet has also been one of the most controversial. This book provides a detailed analysis of the law on freedom of religion or belief as developed under the European Convention on Human Rights. It takes a critical view of the restrictive manner in which the European Court of Human Rights has interpreted freedom of religion or belief in areas such as education, conscientious objection, proselytism, and employment.
