DESCRIPTION:An Annie MacDonald Langstaff Workshop presented by Fulbright\nV
 isting Professor Hilal Elver.\nAbstract\nIn recent years the Grand Chamber
  of the European Court of Human\nRights (ECHR) delivered two judgments tha
 t touched upon freedom of\nreligion\, right to education and secularism.\n
 The first case was about the headscarf ban in Turkish\nuniversities (Sahin
  v. Turkey) in 2005\, and the more\nrecent one concerned the placement of 
 a crucifix in public schools\nin Italy (Lautsi v. Italy) in 2011.\nBoth ju
 dgments have created a huge public debate among opponents\nand proponents 
 of the judicial outcomes. This issue opens up the\nwider debate over the e
 xtent to which European courts should be\nable to impose human rights law 
 on individual states especially\nwhen the issue is related to religion.\nT
 he presentation will compares the judicial reasoning of the two\njudgments
 \, as well as discuss their overall socio-political\nimpacts. It will also
  address the difficult question of a\nsupranational court's role in an era
  of emerging sensitivity over\nreligious symbols\, multiculturalism\, and 
 the ongoing debate about\nthe interplay of secularism and religiosity.\nPr
 esented by the Centre for Human Rights & Legal Pluralism\nand by the Human
  Rights Working Group.\n \n
