| Further Info | Should religion be protected? Do human rights require that the State protect the religious beliefs of others? If so, how far should the State go? Should the right to manifest religious belief be balanced with freedom of expression? Can religious beliefs be reconciled with privacy rights? This timely discussion will analyse the role of human rights in guaranteeing religious freedom. |
