Chair: D'Arienzo M.

Speaker: Annicchino P., Croce M., D'Arienzo M., Elliott T., Franceschi F., Kobel S., Pacillo V., Ruscazio C., Van Der Schyff G., Vargiu P.

The panel will aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the ECHR's jurisprudence on FoRB, identify trends and shifts, and offer insights into potential future developments in this critical area of human rights law. It will focus on several key areas:
Evolution in Jurisprudence: The panel would explore how the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has evolved in its interpretation and application of laws related to Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB). This will include landmark cases that have shaped the Court's approach and any noticeable shifts in its judgments over time.
Current Challenges and Controversies: A discussion of current and emerging challenges in FoRB within the European context, especially in light of increasing religious diversity and secularism. The panel will discuss how the ECHR addresses conflicts between religious freedoms and other human rights, such as equality and non-discrimination.


Impact of Sociopolitical Changes: The influence of broader sociopolitical developments in Europe, like migration, rising nationalism, and changing societal attitudes towards religion, on the Court's jurisprudence. These factors might affect how FoRB cases are brought before the Court and the context in which they are adjudicated.


This panel is organized with the support of ICLARS and ORFECT.
