Summary/Abstract: This article’s aim is that of presenting in a comparative manner the way these three subjects of international law see and regulate the issues related to one of the most present right on the agenda, at least in the actual context, namely freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Being a right initially without frequent practical application in the ECHR jurisprudence, art. 9 of the Convention is nowadays one of the most disputed in the context of building the European society. At the same time the European Union is taking a series of actions regarding the anti-discriminatory policies and protects by means of Directives this fundamental right. Member of both Council of Europe and of the EU, lacking the experience of protecting rights, in general, Romania has its own way of seeing and dealing with it.
