Abstract: (12658 Views)
Freedom of religion and belief is one of the most fundamental human rights, and it can said that even the general idea of human rights was due to the protection of religious minorities. This right, which has been reflected in the first domestic laws on human rights, like “French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen” and “First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution", has also been under consideration from the outset of the world movement for human rights, and the most important international human rights instruments such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, European Convention on Human Rights, American Convention on Human Rights and African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights have emphasized on it.
Keywords: Freedom of religion, Freedom of belief, Have or adopt a religion, Manifestation of religion
