Abstract

 

The evaluation of certain decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and of certain Comments made by its magistrates gave us the possibility to understand that we can also talk about a jurisprudence of the European Court with respect to the human right to freedom of religion. Of course, this jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights is a documentary source of reference not only for the experts in religious law – itself a part of the large field of European law – but also for the magistrates of the EU States, who are called upon to also pronounce themselves on matters which regard the human fundamental rights, among which the Right to the freedom of Religion.
