Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Religions are a problem for human rights, and human rights are a problem for religions. And both are problems for courts. This book presents an interpretation of how religion and human rights interrelate in the legal context, and how this relationship might be reconceived to make this relationship somewhat less fraught.Litigating Religions, an essay adapted by Christopher McCrudden from the Alberico Gentili Lectures given at theUniversity of Macerata, Italy, examines how the resurgent role of religion in public life gives rise to tensions with key aspects of human rights, in particular freedom of religion and anti-discrimination law, andhow these tensions cannot be considered as simply transitional.The context for the discussion is the increasingly troubled area of human rights litigation involving religious arguments, such as wearing religious dress at work, conscientious objections by marriage registrars, admission of children to religious schools, prohibitions on same-sex marriage, and access to abortion. Christopher McCrudden argues that, if we wish to establish a better dialogue between thecontending views, we must address a set of recurring problems identifiable in such litigation. To address these problems requires changes both in human rights theory and in religious understandings. Human rights literature has tended to exclude religious foundations from the realm of human rights. This has led to a lack of progress which confuses our understanding of the relationship between human rights and religion: this book argues that by paying close attention to developments in human rights litigation we can make theoretical progress.
