The changing nature of religious rights in international law

国际人权法是为应对特定的问题而制定的，这些问题随着时间的推移而变化。这对现有规则的解释和适用提出了新的问题。这一转变在宗教权利问题上尤为明显。宗教可能成为暴力的来源，宗教社团活动的重要性，以及要求国家保持中立的压力日益主导着法律议程。该项目旨在更好地了解当代国际法律对宗教权利问题的反应，并了解在这一领域工作的国际组织的反应。

The law of International human rights is formulated in response to particular problems, which change over time. This gives rise to new questions about the interpretation and application of existing rules. The shift has been particularly apparent in the case of religious rights. The potential for religion to be a source of violence, the significance of religious associational activity, and pressures on the state to be 'neutral' increasingly dominate legal agendas. This project seeks to gain a better understanding of contemporary international legal responses to questions of religious rights and to inform the response of international organisations working in the field.
