Secularisation and Minority Rights—How Does Secularisation Affect the Rights of Religious and Belief Minorities
This article discusses the link between secularisation and the rights of religious and belief minorities. Using data from the Atlas of Religious or Belief Minority Rights, it measures the extent to which RBM rights are respected, promoted and restricted. Taking the number of ‘nones’ in a country as an indicator of the secularisation of its legal system, it examines the impact of secularisation on the promotion of religious minority rights and the…
Religious Diversity and Promotion of Minority Rights, Do They Really Go Hand in Hand
One might expect the promotion of religious minority rights to be linked to the growth of religious diversity. However, the data in the Atlas of Religious and Belief Minority Rights, on which this article is based, does not support this expectation, instead offering a more complex picture. Rather than promoting minority rights and associated legal differences, religious diversity provides religious minorities with a legal status similar to that o…
Timber trade in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) shares borders with nine countries and has around 150 million hectares of tropical moist forests. A moratorium on logging titles has been in place since 2002 and infrastructure is very poor. The country plans to lift the moratorium and invest in infrastructure as part of the broader East-African road and railway networks. We present a case-study conducted for thirty months (2020– 2022) on timber trade an…
Rights of Man, Rights of God
The conflicts between rights of God and rights of man are on the rise. On the one hand, there are some rights that are qualified as human rights in the most important international conventions and in many national constitutions. As such, they are to be respected always and everywhere. On the other hand, there are rights that are directly or indirectly attributed to the will of God. Their respect is regarded as a religious obligation to be upheld …
Tying the Knot
The debate on religious minority rights has long been stranded in the shallows of a sterile juxtaposition between the politics of sameness and the politics of difference
Comparative Religious Law
The title does not fully convey the innovative content of the book, which does not merely provide a comparison of Jewish law, Christian churches law, and Islamic law based on the primary sources of these religious legal systems. There is more, as the body of the book is constituted by a survey of secondary sources, the instruments of legal regulation (assuming this expression in its broadest sense) elaborated by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim orga…
The Secular State in a Declining Europe
The article provides data that attest to the severity of the European demographic, economic, and political decline, and considers one of its manifestations, the capacity of the secular state to cope with the transformations of the European religious landscape. The secular state has been a European invention, and the decline of Europe has inevitable repercussions for its vitality, in Europe and beyond. In Europe, the weakness of the secular state …
Droits de l’homme, droits de Dieu

On the one hand, there are some rights that are qualified as human rights in the most important international conventions and in many national constitutions.

Law and Religion, an Overview
The danger of compartmentalization
This article argues that we cannot separate theology on the one hand and politics, law and economy on the other when trying to understand how to deal with religious and cultural diversity. Through an historical examination of the formation of the right to religious liberty in the West, it shows that the European secular state is still deeply indebted with its theological presuppositions. This conclusion explains why systems of religiously based p…
Religion between Liberty and Equality
In this paper I argue that the shift from liberty to equality in the legal regulation of freedom of religion is part of a larger process of globalization of law that can change the “quality” of the right to freedom of religion and belief However, this shift does not have the same impact on different areas of the legal regulation of freedom of religion and belief. Moreover, it needs to be contextualized and considered in the light of the different…
The Creation of Muslim Representative Institutions in the “Secular” European States
European governments want Muslim communities to organize coherent structures to better interact with the state. However, the state should not go so far as to define the features that this structure should possess “on the inside.” How can European states properly comprehend the institutionalization of Islam and channel this process, without too much trauma, towards a system of relations between states and religions that is characteristic of the Eu…

Le Principe de neutralité en Italie/ The Principle of Neutrality in Italy
La neutralidad religiosa del Estado liberal - que fue una neutralidad por ignorancia - ya no es eficaz en el marco del Estado contemporáneo. En efecto, el principio según el cual el Estado necesita intervenir para satisfecer las necesidades de los ciudadanos tiene también aplicación en lo religioso. ¿ Pero de qué manera esta neutralidad intervencionista puede realizarse ? El ejemplo de Italia enseña que el Estado no es neutro ni respecto a lo rel…
