      abstract = {This book offers an in-depth analysis of a fundamental  human freedom and a cornerstone of democracy: the Freedom  of Religions or Beliefs (FoRB). The book focuses on the  legal protection and promotion of FoRB in Europe because,  in this context, exercising this right goes beyond a mere  internal positioning in terms of legislation; rather, it is  influenced by international and supranational case law, as  well as the promotional activities of selected non-state  subjects of international law. The content is divided into  three sections: Part I on the European Convention of Human  Rights, Part II on the EU, and Part III on other  international actors. The first two Parts examine FoRB in  its systematic aspects and day-to-day aspects. In contrast,  the third Part highlights the promotional activities  carried out by the Holy See, the ILO, the Council of Europe  (beyond the Strasbourg Court), and the OSCE to promote,  recommend or otherwise support it. Overall, the volume  highlights how the exercise of FoRB can be ensured via  international and supranational legal protection (both  normative and judicial) and via promotional activities  aimed at encouraging and helping states guarantee tolerance  and pluralism in their national legislation. The 16 main  chapters offer a broad overview of the topic under  investigation. Each contribution can be seen as a  stand-alone study and, simultaneously, as a link in a chain  of legal analysis that connects multiple FoRB-focused  questions. The book offers a valuable tool for all readers  with an academic or professional interest in FoRB and those  who have to address the issue of how to protect this  freedom. It is intended not only for academics who work in  the field of law but also for legal practitioners (judges,  lawyers, diplomats), human rights advocates, members of  religious and spiritual communities, policymakers and  students.},
