  • State Neutrality and Religion in Europe

    Open AccessMalcolm D Evans, Malcolm EvansARTICLEOxford Journal of Law and Religion2023

    This article examines the jurisprudence under the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the role of the state in relation to matters of religious belief. The Court’s approach to this topic has changed markedly over the last 30 years and has become increasingly focussed on the idea of ‘neutrality’. This, it is suggested, is a significant error. The article highlights the shortcomings of the approaches it has adopted and argues that the es…

  • Why Religious Freedom matters for Democracy

    Open AccessMalcolm D Evans, Malcolm EvansARTICLEOxford Journal of Law and Religion2020

    At several points during this interesting and enlightening book, the author quotes the well-known words of the European Court of Human Rights in Kokkinakis v Greece in 1993—its first-ever judgment concerning Article 9 of the European Convention—that: freedom of thought, conscience and religion is one of the foundations of a ‘democratic society’ within the meaning of the Convention. It is, in its religious dimension, one of the most vital elements…

  • Conscience and Conversion

    Open AccessMalcolm D EvansARTICLEJournal of Church and State2019

    This fascinating book looks at the experiences of a number of prominent figures who exercised their freedom of religion by changing their faith in post-revolutionary France. This might seem somewhat esoteric, but the generic issues that it highlights are of enduring relevance and have contemporary resonance. Much of the modern debate concerning freedom of religion and belief is couched in rights language and focused on the right to act in accorda…

In a short article of this nature it is not possible to examine each of the issues in a comprehe…

  • Council of Europe Manuals - Human Rights in Culturally Diverse Societies (2 vols.)

These volumes, written by human rights experts and commissioned by the Council of Europe, offer an overview of two contentious topics - the wearing of religious symbol…

  • The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights

    Malcolm D Evans, Germain Baricako et al.BOOKAfrican Charter on Human and…2008

    The African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights came into force in 1986, and is unique in that it lacks a precedent.

Contributors include experts who have been actively involved in the implementation of the Charter - commissioners, NGOs and academics. Offering a detailed evaluatio…

  • A Separation of Convenience? The Concept of Neutrality in the Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights1

    Malcolm D Evans, Malcolm Evans et al.ARTICLEReligion State & Society2008Citada por: 3

    The article examines the strategies the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) employs to apply the concept of neutrality in relation to Article 9 (freedom of religion or belief) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Having explored the theoretical background of the concept of neutrality and its specific application in the case law, the authors argue that neutrality is often used to display a bias towards a particular world view or societal …

  • All the Perfumes of Arabia’

    Open AccessMalcolm D EvansARTICLELeiden Journal of International Law2006

    Although the House of Lords has now made it clear that evidence obtained by means of torture conducted abroad by non-UK nationals is inadmissible in judicial proceedings in the United Kingdom, the position remains unsatisfactory. Restrictive approaches have been taken to many of the key issues, suggesting that there is still considerable scope for the use of evidence which is brought to light as a result of forms of ill-treatment which violate hu…

    On 16 March 2001 the International Court of Justice gave judgment in what was then its most longrunning case. It was in 1987 that Qatar and Bahrain had begun a process of attempting to agree upon the submission of their differences to the Court, but although they were able to agree upon the subject matter in dispute, they could not agree upon its legal characterization and the manner in which the dispute should be placed before the Court. That no…

  • The Maritime Delimitation Between Eritrea and Yemen

    Open AccessMalcolm D EvansARTICLELeiden Journal of International Law2001Citada por: 2

    The Award of the Arbitral Tribunal in the Second Phase (Maritime Delimitation) of the Eritrea-Yemen Arbitration follows the trend towards producing a single all-purpose delimitation line constructed on the basis of equidistance, the course of which is chiefly dictated by mainland coastal geography. Islands are accorded little impact upon the course of the final line, save to the extent necessary to permit them a full territorial sea. The potentia…

    A disturbing feature of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia was the extent to which civilians were the target of military attacks by all three of the armed forces of the main ethnic communities. It was the military attacks by the armed forces of one of these ethnic communities—the Bosnian Croats (HZHB)—against Bosnian Muslim civilians and associated events in the Lasva Valley region of Central Bosnia from May 1992 to January 1994 that led to th…

  • Protecting Prisoners

    Rod Morgan, Malcolm D Evans et al.BOOKProtecting prisoners1999

    Prisoners are a uniquely vulnerable social group and protecting them from oppressive states has given rise to a complex web of standards generated by a variety of international mechanisms and processes. Protecting Prisoners examines the most detailed and far-reaching set of custodial standards yet devised--those of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT)---and relates them to those of other European and United Nations bodies.
