La religion dans la jurisprudence européenne des droits de l'homme

Nowadays, religions are frequently invited to participate in the promotion of human rights around the world. In this new framework, religions are progressively required to prove their own credibility and loyalty towards a quite homogeneous "human rights doctrine". However, it would be biased to go ahead analysing these new religious responsibilities within the modem world, without examining the ways of conceptualizing "religion" presupposed by the "human rights doctrines" themselves. Such a legal approach is not only useful as an internal legal approach, but. also as juridical contribution to an enlarged understanding of interdisciplinarity within religious studies.
