The changing nature of religious rights in international law

国际人权法是针对随时间而变化的具体问题而制订的。这就对现行规则的解释和适用提出了新的问题。这种转变在宗教权利方面表现得尤为明显。宗教成为暴力来源的可能性、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，并告知在该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.
