Opis

The scale and variety of acts of religious intolerance evident in so many countries today are of enormous contemporary concern. This timely study attempts a thorough and systematic analysis of both Universal and European practice. The standards applicable to freedom of religion are subjected to a detailed critique, and their development and implementation within the UN is distinguished from that within Strasbourg, in order to discern trends and obstacles to their advancement.

Recenzje

"...highly technical and very thorough examination of the law of religious freedom as it has developed in the UN and European Union...it is a treasure trove...Taylor has written a detailed, exhaustive treatment of two different human rights system (UN and Europe) in light of their success or failure in securing religious freedom. It is a work that repays reading and reflection, at least by human rights lawyers."
