Piecing the Puzzle—Women and Freedom of Religion or Belief
Despite the normative integration between freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) and women’s rights, the misperception that women’s rights and FoRB are clashing rights persists. This is compounded by the extensive religiously phrased reservations by States upon ratification of international treaties that amplify this misperception that FoRB serves to restrict women’s rights. The correctives to these misperceptions lie in reflecting upon the univers…
Navigating the Tensions
Despite the normative integration between freedom of religion or belief ( FORB ) and women’s equality, these synergies are difficult to discern and there is a common misperception that women’s rights to equality and FORB are clashing rights. This is compounded by the extensive religiously phrased reservations by states upon ratification of international treaties that amplify this misperception that FORB serves to restrict women’s rights to equali…
Of Hedgehogs and Representation
We hear about ‘religious persecution’ with great regularity in recent years, but what is meant by it? Where there is a rallying call of ‘religious persecution’, what precisely is meant by that? Is there a minimum threshold for a situation qualifying as religious ‘persecution’? Is it in fact occurring with greater regularity than in past decades or is it just being reported more? Is it increasingly politicized and, if so, why? This article analyze…
Religious Organizations and the Impact of Human Rights and Equality Laws in England and Wales
The framework for equality and the multiple aspects of identity that are protected in law, including on the basis of religion and belief, are continuously being redefined and reshaped through ongoing legal claims in England and Wales. In this article, we examine how religious organizations view equality and the extent to which different identity rights can be protected. We conducted a survey of religious organizations in England and Wales to exam…
Are Religious Minorities Really Minorities?
This article will argue that although, historically, religious minorities were the primary trigger for the institutionalization of the international framework of minority rights, they have long since been sidelined from its protections. This sidelining is evident in a variety of international human rights norms and mechanisms, the focus below being on the jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights Committee. The article offers a number of explanations …
Religious or Minority? Examining the Realisation of International Standards in Relation to Religious Minorities in the Middle East
The Middle East region has had a long, and periodically impressive, record of religious diversity, yet there is much concern regarding the contemporary standing of its religious minorities. Rather than assessing the chequered historical record of religious minorities in the Middle East, the purpose of this article is to provide an assessment of how international human rights standards may best be utilised to advance their rights. The contention o…
I. From UN Commission on Human Rights to UN Human Rights Council
The policy decision to replace the United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights (CHR) with a new UN Human Rights Council (HRC) was taken by governments at the September 2005 World Summit and adopted as a General Assembly (GA) resolution on 15 March 2006. 1 This brought an end to the CHR's chequered 60-year history. 2 The membership, structure and aims and procedures of the new HRC underwent months of intense discussion between States in the lea…
A review of the sixty-first session of the commission on human rights
This report seeks to analyse the main highlights of this year's session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The Commission was set up in 1947 and is the UN's principal human rights body. It is currently the subject of major reform proposals stemming primarily from the UN Secretary-General and agreed upon, in general terms by member states at the 14–16 September 2005 World Summit. The review below, focusing on the main country and th…

The 58th session of the UN Commission on Human Rights
This report seeks to highlight some of the noteworthy developments that took place during the 58th session (March–April 2002) of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (henceforth ‘Commission’). The Commission was set up in 1947 and has become one of the best-known human rights bodies. The high diplomatic status of the Commission's state membership, however, leads to a clash between the high expectations of the international community and …
