Anat Scolnicov 
Right to Religious Freedom in International Law [EPUB ebook] 
Between Group Rights and Individual Rights

Support

This book analyses the right to religious freedom in international law, drawing on an array of national and international cases. Taking a rigorous approach to the right to religious freedom, Anat Scolnicov argues that the interpretation and application of religious freedom must be understood as a conflict between individual and group claims of rights, and that although some states, based on their respective histories, religions, and cultures, protect the group over the individual, only an individualistic approach of international law is a coherent way of protecting religious freedom. Analysing legal structures in a variety of both Western and Non-Western jurisdictions, the book sets out a topography of different constitutional structures of religions within states and evaluates their compliance with international human rights law. The book also considers the position of women’s religious freedom vis-a-vis community claims of religious freedom, of children’s right to religious freedom and of the rights of dissenters within religious groups.
