Critical Analysis Concerning International Legislation on Freedom of Religion

Abstract

This study aims to point out the shortcomings of international legislation on the use of religious rights and was conceived as a wake-up call to the most relevant institutions for the defense of human rights, in favor of a fair, globalized legal system accessible to all vulnerable minorities, specifically people and their theological convictions, including respect in the absence of it. It describes in a coherent and critical way those international norms related to religious freedoms, in their drafting, practice and execution; determining the degree of responsibility of each actor, whether it"™s from State or society, in the use of religious rights; proposing new ways to improve freedom of religion in regions with historically poor human rights records.
