Half-hearted Support to Pluralist Curriculum Building
This article makes two claims, one explanatory, one normative. The former aims at explaining why pluralist religion teaching, be it teaching in the style advocated by the OSCE Toledo Guiding Principles on Teaching about Religions and Beliefs in Public Schools or other forms of pluralist religion teaching or religious literacy teaching, has not become an overwhelming success in Europe. To that effect, the article identifies a number of incentives …
The Indivisibility of Human Rights
This article aims to test whether human rights have an indivisible nature. To do that, we perform correlation analysis and Granger causality tests to test 1) the relationship within socio-economic rights and 2) between socio-economic rights and civil-political rights. The results show that certain socio-economic rights have mutual reinforcing relationships, lending support to the existence of widespread indivisibility. This finding yields relevan…
Freedom of Religion or Belief and Gender Equality in the Netherlands
he Dutch approach to calibrating freedom of religion or belief and gender equality is characterized by its outspokenness as far as external affairs are concerned and, historically, the absence of a similar degree of fortitude when it comes to its internal affairs. Recently, the two perspectivesinternal affairs and external relations-have become more or less aligned. This process was significantly steered both by judicial rulings as well as interv…
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the “Right to be Protected against Incitement”
Article 20(2) of the un’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ( iccpr ) is an odd human rights clause. It provides that “[a]ny advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.” Accordingly, this provision does not appear to codify a fundamental right but rather a sui generis state obligation. The present article aims at providing a le…
Freedom of Religion or Belief in Prison
Both at the regional European (the European Prison Rules) and at the universal level (the brand new UN Nelson Mandela Rules) soft-law benchmarks exist on the rights of prisoners, including their freedom of religion or belief. While the European Court of Human Rights is mandated to monitor compliance with the far more general freedom of religion or belief clause (Article 9 ECHR), this proliferation of tailored prison rules does raise the interesti…
Blasphemy and Freedom of Expression
The tension between blasphemy laws and the freedom of expression in modern times is a key area of debate within legal academia and beyond. With contributions by leading scholars, this volume compares blasphemy laws within a number of Western liberal democracies and debates the legitimacy of these laws in the twenty-first century. Including comprehensive and up-to-date comparative country studies, this book considers the formulation of blasphemy b…
Are State Churches Contrary to International Law?
This article focuses on state churches in liberal democracies, arguing that an international law-oriented analysis thereof generates legal arguments against state church models in se . In addition to arguments derived from legal theory against establishment of religion, there is comparative legal data substantiating a correlation between establishment and ‘governmental favouritism’; whilst legal–sociological data in turn substantiates a correlati…
Islam and the Secular State
Blasphemy, Defamation of Religions and Human Rights Law
Blasphemy is a serious wrongdoing in all monotheistic world religions. Blasphemy prohibitions have been brought into being and enforced so as to protect the dominant religion specifically. Religions as such, however, are not protected by international human rights law. Human rights law protects and empowers people: every person has the right to freedom of religion or belief. Human rights law does not recognise a right to have one's religion or be…
