SUMMARY: 1. Preliminary Remarks - 2. The veil before the European Court of Human Rights – 3. Religious Symbols in Article 9 ECHR case law and women’s religious freedom in Europe – 4. Islamic Symbols and European Institutions. Indirect Discrimination? – 5. Conclusive Remarks.

ABSTRACT: Religious freedom within Europe and the place of Islam within Europe are of particular contemporary interest. The focus of recent case law developed by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has been on national laws which proscribe the wearing of religious symbols in certain aspects of the public sphere, and on the claims more generally to religious and cultural freedom of Muslim minorities in European states. Stepping back from these cases, this Article aims at a theoretical analysis of the subject, involving the contrast between value pluralism as a basis for religious freedom in international law, and other fundamental rights, i.e. women’s or children’s rights. By recognizing the intrinsic connection between individual rights and communal goods, value pluralism opens new pathways for enforcing human rights.

Religious Symbols and Alternative Proceedings

ABSTRACT: Religious symbols are becoming the object of a new forum of the ancient religious wars: those between believers and nonbelievers instead of between different organized religions like in the past. The Author describes the numerous judgements that were passed in the last years by U.S. and European Courts with particular reference to two kinds of public space: roads, parks, ecc. and public buildings. But he points out that the the ordinary trial is ineffective for resolution of cultural and religious conflicts and holds the utility of an alternative proceeding: the mediation between believers and nonbelievers, always in respect of liberty of conscience for everyone.

ABSTRACT: This essay is about the conflict between the teachings of the Catholic Church and the status of the believer as a subject possessing freedom of conscience. It addresses several issues which concern the believer’s claim to freedom of conscience in making moral choices, and the observance of "unquestionable principles" required by the catholic hierarchy as fundamental for the Catholic faith within a moral context. Among the various questions, it underlines the conceptual problems in demanding the respect of a "catholic culture", due to the polysemous nature of the word "culture" and the transcultural aspiration of Catholic doctrine, and in asserting the existence of a "natural law" while soliciting the respect of undisputable moral values.

ABSTRACT : Teaching about Roman Catholic religion is a well-known issue for Italian scholars. The aim of these brief thoughts and reflections is to underline how many aspects still seem unclear or even misunderstood, because the administrative jurisprudence has not yet shown precise considerations and decisions about it and new Agreements between Church and State contain some interesting positions, but the accepted principles need to find a formally correct and rational discipline to be completely realised. Many juridical problems get deeper, when the attention is focused on other religious traditions and on the idea of providing alternative subjects. The main question still consists in defining this kind of alternatives and reaching a high level of pluralism, without forgetting the typical status of religious teachings in the Italian system.
