Working Paper II. Religious freedom is actually one of the best protected human rights in international law.
Why then does it also remain one of the most frequently and widely denied? It seems that, despite all the legal instruments, the minimal protection of religious freedom has still not been achieved in most countries. This Caritas in Veritate Working Paper tries to look closely at the question from the Christian, Catholic perspective. Our report 'Religious Freedom in Domestic Politics and International Affairs' and the parallels it proposes with the most recent documents of the Magisterium on this issue make up for a serious and far reaching reading on religious freedom.
