"The book explores, and challenges, the particular institutional perspectives which emerge in the context of differing approaches to the protection of religious rights. It identifies new directions for approaching religious rights through international law by examining existing legal tools, assessing their achievements and shortcomings. By studying religious organizations' support for international human rights protection, as well as religious critiques of international human rights, it offers complementary perspectives on the institutions and processes of religious rights protection. It identifies ways in which these rights are being eroded and suggests new forms of reinforcement and protection, not least by way of an alternative religious 'bill of rights'. So this collection of essays is offered as a record of a set of important debates. The texts expose not merely the evolving normative framework within which questions of religious rights are resolved in international law. The Editors have been as much interested in how activists in the human rights field perceive that framework, as well as the political contests which lie behind them. By interweaving practitioner perspectives with scholarly reflection, the volume provides an opportunity for the reader to come away with an understanding of how international law works in a context both fascinating and fluid"--Unedited summary from book jacket.

Download Religion and International Law Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
One of the great tasks, perhaps the greatest, weighing on modern international lawyers is to craft a universal law and legal process capable of ordering relations among diverse people with differing religions, histories, cultures, laws, and languages. In so doing, we need to take the world's peoples as we find them and not pretend out of existence their wide variety. This volume, now available in paperback, builds on the eleven essays edited by Mark Janis in 1991 in The Influence of Religion and the Development of International Law, more than doubling its authors and essays and covering more religious traditions. Now included are studies of the interface between international law and ancient religions, Confucianism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as essays addressing the impact of religious thought on the literature and sources of international law, international courts, and human rights law.

This report examines and compares the content of laws prohibiting blasphemy ("blasphemy laws") worldwide through the lens of international and human rights law principles. The laws examined in this study prohibit or criminalize the expression of opinions deemed "blasphemous," or counter to majority views or religious belief systems, and many impose serious, often criminal, penalties. Blasphemy laws are actively enforced in many states throughout the world. Many governments deem repeal not feasible or desirable and justify the prohibition and criminalization of blasphemy as necessary to promote religious harmony. This study seeks to evaluate the language and content of blasphemy laws to understand what aspects of these laws adhere to--or deviate from--international and human rights law principles. A better understanding of the laws' compliance with these principles may assist in the public policy community in developing clear, specifically-tailored recommendations for areas for reform.
