Università Roma Tre

Since the Second World War, religious freedom has conquered space in the sources of the law, case-law and policies of the Council of Europe and European Union. These sources affect the national rights by creating common trends. In this framework, the course will provide the historical and legal bases for understanding the conflicts characterized by religious and ethnic / religious impact that shake Europe, with particular reference to: the legal status of Religious Organizations; the interaction of the European institutions with Religious Organizations; the balancing with other principles and freedoms that are the basis of European systems (secularism, freedom of thought, equality, freedom of economic activity, physical integrity, etc.)

Readings and course materials shall be provided during the course.
