La libertad religiosa, como derecho a la libertad de expresión

La libertad religiosa es un derecho que puede ser conceptualizado de dos maneras distintas: como ... more La libertad religiosa es un derecho que puede ser conceptualizado de dos maneras distintas: como derecho a expresarse libremente y como derecho a manifestar la propia identidad. Esta dualidad esta relacionada, sin ser identica, con la que se encuentra entre una percepcion individual y una percepcion comunitaria del derecho a la libertad religiosa y resulta claro en la normativizacion de este derecho. En estos casos, la forma en que el derecho a la libertad religiosa es concebido determinara los limites de este derecho. En esta colaboracion se argumenta que la libertad religiosa deberia formularse, primero y principalmente, como un derecho individual. El derecho individual esta relacionado con el aspecto critico-expresivo de la libertad religiosa y el derecho comunitario con su aspecto identitario. No obstante, ambos aspectos informan el derecho a la libertad religiosa hasta cierto punto incluso en su conformacion como derecho individual y este articulo explora algunas de las consecu...

Freedom of religion or belief: Group right or individual right?

Freedom of religious and belief is a recognized right in international law. In order to understan... more Freedom of religious and belief is a recognized right in international law. In order to understand, interpret, develop and implement this right, it is important to go back and analyse the fundamental reasoning behind this right. Freedom of religion and belief is a contradictory right: a freedom for self-constraint. It is a double-sided right, a right of expression and a right of identity, two aspects related to individual and group perceptions of this right. Therefore, this right must be understood through a conflict between competing conceptions of individual and group rights. International law should protect the religious freedoms of individuals, and should protect groups only as derivative from the rights of individuals, and never in contravention of them, and generally does so. Current tendencies towards recognising group rights raise concerns, highlighting the importance of this determination. The conceptual analysis of the right serves as a critical tool for discussion of spec...

Boundaries of State, Boundaries of Rights

This collection of essays draws together innovative scholars to examine the relationship between ... more This collection of essays draws together innovative scholars to examine the relationship between two legal and political phenomena: the shrinking of the state as a monopoly of power in favour of the expansion of power over individuals in private hands, and the change in the nature of rights. The authors expertly discuss the implications of the changing boundaries of state power, the legal responses to this development, its application to human rights, and re-conceptualizations of public life as obligations are handed over to private hands. This innovative book deals with an important set of problems and offers a fresh perspective of different legal themes in an integrated fashion.

It shows that the European Court of Human Rights has assumed without discussion that such rights exist. It argues, through analysis of the justifications for human rights, that they cannot. The article then suggest a way that reconciles the negation of corporate rights with recognition of derivative rights under the European Convention of Human Rights, through examination of the case- law on substantive rights of the Convention, including freedom of speech and the right to private life.
