Aspects Related to the Right to Freedom of Religion Within the CEDO Jurisprudence. Legality, Neutrality and National Characteristics

Summary/Abstract: Analysing the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter called CEDO), we can observe that the right to freedom of religion is manifested in two main directions: on the one hand, CEDO doesn’t force the Member States to adopt a unitary model of the legal framework for the manifestation of religious freedom; on the other hand, CEDO carefully oversees the way in which the states interfere and act in the field of religious freedom, where there have been breaches of art. 9 in the European Convention of Human Rights (hereinafter called the Convention).This dual perspective mentioned above indicates the important role that freedom of expression of religion has in the contemporary democratic society and in the current sphere of justice.
