Translation and the Search for Justice in Contexts of Religious and Cultural Diversity
Law and Migration in a Changing World
Legal Scholars Engaging with Social Anthropology
This special issue of the German Law Journal showcases through concrete examples the conceptual and methodological toolbox that social anthropology has to offer and the added value of applying an anthropologically informed approach to legal thinking, argumentation, and practice. The contributions address a wide variety of highly topical, controversial social issues that are at the heart of the human condition, including gender recognition for non…
Islam under the Rule of Law in Europe
This contribution draws attention to human rights as an instrument of justice to deal with requests that are either made directly or may prove indirectly to be relevant to Muslims who claim the protection of freedom of religion and faith in contemporary European societies. The analysis is distributed over two distinct but complementary illustrations of such claims. The position defended here is that the key to a successful multicultural society l…
Law and Anthropology
The great strides that have taken place in the field of anthropology of law have largely been the result of steady extensions of its research agenda into new areas of study and sites of ethnographic research. With an initial emphasis on the legal systems of those living in the context of colonial rule, the field gradually broadened to include other centers of legal power and authority, making the institutions of states and global governance, incl…
European Supranational Courts and the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief
Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009, human rights in Europe is a matter for two supranational courts. As a new actor in the area of human rights protection in Europe, the European Union entered a multilevel European human rights architecture, which was characterized by an inherent interplay between the state level and the supranational level of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The jurisprudence of the ECt…
Culture all around? Contextualising anthropological expertise in European courtroom settings
This paper contributes to the debate on the role of anthropological expertise in the legal sphere by broadening the analytical field of vision. Rather than focusing on the anthropologist, his or her positionality, the epistemic status of anthropological knowledge or the ensuing ethical questions – as the other contributions to this themed section do – we turn the question around. Based on empirical data from a survey conducted among European judg…

Freedom of religion and belief in the European workplace
In this concluding contribution to the special issue on practices of reasonable accommodation for religion or belief in the workplace, the striking differences and similarities between the six country studies dealing with England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Bulgaria, France and Turkey are discussed. An important observation that emerges from all six analyses, and gives reason for considerable optimism as regards the development of protection of re…
Framing Multicultural Challenges in Freedom of Religion Terms
Multicultural challenges in Europe are being framed in human rights language, and in particular in terms of the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The question is whether the practical case-by-case application of the fundamental right to freedom of religion in national and European case law facilitates a ‘deep (and normative) diversity’ in Europe or rather only allows space for a limiting or ‘conditioned diversity’ instead. While openin…
Islam & Europe
Dedicated to increasing our knowledge and awareness of the ever-growing diversity and pluralism of global society, Forum A. & A. Leysen has initiated an annual debate/lecture series, beginning with a focus on Islam in today’s world and in Europe in particular. Seven well-known influential authorities – each an active participant in the public debate on [...]

The Admissibility of Repudiation
This article reports on the most recent developments in Dutch, French and Belgian private international law concerning the problem of the recognition of repudiation. The comparison among the three systems—Dutch, French and Belgian—points to a noticeable disparity: France and Belgium have recently opted to strengthen their treatment of foreign repudiation. In 2005 the Netherlands decided to take a less strict approach. We review here in turn the F…
