Negotiating Religious Pluralism in Europe: Between the EU and the ECHR



This event seeks to shine a light on the role of the Council of Europe and European Court of Human Rights in the evolving sphere of law and religion in Europe. It asks: What is – and what should be - the role of the Council of Europe in resolving questions of religious pluralism? To what extent do we see a mutual influence between European legal systems and courts – do they adhere to a common set of principles? And what are the potential implications of the EU’s accession to the ECHR in the domain of religion?

Religious Diversity and Secular Models in Europe - Innovative Approaches to Law and Policy (RELIGARE)


 RELIGARE starts from the idea of equality and how it is challenged by the increasing diversity of religions and other convictions that are transforming Europe into a new type of entity. The Union’s expansion, together with important migration fluxes, partly explains a process of increasing diversity within the EU. Against that background an increasingly number of citizens, many of whom are new EU citizens, hold beliefs and values different from the majority.
