We could see this fact in a controversial issue of modern society: symbols and garments of religious significance. This issue put at stake the public acceptance of minority groups in western societies and the range of acknowledge of the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This article analyzes three examples of religious symbology –the one exhibited in the public school, in the photos required to obtain certain documents, and the so-called «full-face veil» in any public space–, banned in a European country, France, where the arguments and the decisions of both international bodies are radically divergent. Next, we raise questions about the possible motives –structural or substantial– that could explain said divergence in the different interpretation and application of the limits to freedom of religion. And, finally, we propose some solutions de jure condendo in order to bring the doctrines of the Strasbourg Court and the Geneva Committee closer together, for the sake of a convergent interpretation and application of a right that is regulated in a very similar way in the European Convention and in the International Covenant. No deja de sorprender cómo los fallos de dos importantes órganos internacionales con funciones judiciales o cuasi-judiciales en materia de derechos humanos –el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos creado en el Convenio de Roma, y el Comité de Naciones Unidas en aplicación del Pacto de Derechos Civiles y Políticos– son, en ocasiones, diametralmente opuestos. Lo contemplamos en una materia de singular importancia y actualidad en el ámbito de las manifestaciones de la libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión: los símbolos y vestimentas religiosas. Esta cuestión plantea, a su vez, el grado de aceptación de las minorías religiosas en las sociedades occidentales y la amplitud del reconocimiento del derecho a la libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión. El trabajo contempla tres supuestos de simbología religiosa –la exhibida en la escuela pública, en las fotos requeridas para la obtención de documentos, y el denominado «velo integral» en cualquier espacio público–, prohibidos en un país europeo, Francia, en donde las argumentaciones y la decisión de ambos órganos son radicalmente divergentes. A continuación se estudian las posibles causas –estructurales y sustanciales– que pudieran explicar dicha divergencia en la distinta interpretación y aplicación de los límites al derecho a la libertad religiosa; y se ofrecen unas propuestas de iure condendo a fin de acercar las doctrinas del Tribunal de Estrasburgo y del Comité de Ginebra, en aras de una interpretació","PeriodicalId":42519,"journal":{"name":"Revista General de Derecho Canonico y Derecho Eclesiastico del Estado","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136112715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on a set of legislative principles dating from the regime of the Third Republic (1870-1940) which are still applicable today and are characterized by a close and decisive link with laïcité. However, a significant place is given to private schools –overwhelmingly Catholic– in the name of freedom of education. However, the societal repercussions of the development of new religious movements, including Islam, are reflected in public schools by the promotion of laïcité as a value to which students must adhere and likely to lead to tensions with their freedom of religion. This conception of laïcité is present in the law of August 24, 2021 confirming respect for the principles of the Republic, which has brought restrictions to the freedom of education by strictly framing the home education of children and private schools without contract L’École publique joue en France un rôle central dans la détermination du rapport à la religion des élèves.
