Strasbourg Consortium

Freedom of conscience and religion at the European Court of Human Rights

In 2005, a group of academic institutions with interest in freedom of religion or belief (FORB) assembled with the aim of developing an electronic forum, possibly stimulated from time to time by relevant academic conferences, to encourage in-depth discussion of issues pending before the European Court of Human Rights and other international institutions. This group has come to be known as the Strasbourg Consortium. . .

. . . Since the decisions on the important issues pending before the European Court of Human Rights will shape the basic contours of freedom of religion or belief for years to come, the kind of work envisioned by, and carried out by, the Strasbourg Conference Consortium is particularly critical. We welcome you to our site, and encourage you to investigate its possibilities to determine how it may serve you, and how you might contribute.
