Aims

At the end, the student shall be able to identify the juridical regimes of the religious traditions and practices with reference to the evolution of Belgian law and on the basis of an analysis of a public regulation of religion adapted to a multidisciplinary study of religions.

Main themes

In order to achieve these aims, the course will
- give priority to a definition of the Belgian juridical regimes of the religious fact
- examine the historical evolution of the cultural contexts and the religious backgrounds of Belgian law together with the various contemporary orientations of this law, its legislative content (particularly articles 9 and 14 of the European Convention of Human Rights) and its administrative practice and judiciary argumentation
- study the juridical condition, in both private and public law, of the personal convictions and the religious institutions
