LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE AS THE CORNERSTONE OF HUMAN RIGHTS, EDUCATION AND LASTING PEACE

Summary/Abstract: Liberty of Conscience as the Cornerstone of Human Rights, Education and Lasting Peace. Among all human freedoms, liberty of conscience stands as the most intimate and universal. It represents the right of each individual to think, believe, and act according to personal moral conviction. As a foundation of human rights, it ensures the dignity and autonomy of the person. As a goal of education, it promotes critical thinking, tolerance, and civic responsibility. And as a condition of peace, it allows societies to replace coercion with understanding. This paper explores liberty of conscience as a multidimensional concept — philosophical, moral, social, and legal — and examines its role in building democratic citizenship and durable peace within the framework of international law and human rights education.
