- Abstract
A "journey into the realm of fundamental human rights and freedoms" awakens in the soul and inner feelings of any researcher a special sensitivity, a depth of analysis and creation, but also a hint of vulnerability, especially in such a fragile global socio-economic context, where people's suffering reaches levels of horror difficult to represent. These successive and partly interconnected crises, generated by pandemics and war, transposed over the re-intensification of geopolitical competition for regional or global supremacy, or over the transformative technological revolution of digitisation, have revealed the "strength" and the "fragility" of law both as two mirrors of the same reality, but also the "critical" urgency of re-evaluating the issue of human rights and respect for humanist values and human beings. There is, however, "a strength at the heart of fragility", which takes the form of solidarity, and which we have experienced especially in times of humanitarian crisis. The general context of the humanitarian crisis "unleashed in the open" in Ukraine, more recently in Israel and Gaza, has confronted us with a paradox of our security based on the expansion and hard core of international human rights regulation, the undeniable progress achieved in regulating human actions and protecting life on Earth "declining steeply into impotence". The impact of these realities raises awareness and deep reflection on the intangibility of fundamental rights and freedoms. Through our research we aim, on the one hand, to capture this critical point in the awareness of the human being reflected in the freedom of thought, conscience and religion, a freedom often "subtly", inscrutably restricted, and, on the other hand, to reflect on the principle of the prevalence of the "general interest" to which we refer in identifying the "perimeter" of the sovereignty of each individual, a sovereignty that "brave voices" in international research and not only, call "soul". This reflection on the possibility of a right of the soul by extending the interpretation of an individual's sovereignty to what is meant by feelings, inner feelings or emotions, which are manifested in the consciousness and thought of each person, comes to "break down", in all aspects, the corollary of freedom of thought, conscience and religion, so that this freedom of conscience becomes more than a symbolic value, as it is currently perceived. And no, this is not a philosophical approach, nor a religious one, but it comes from the reality of studies that show us that thoughts can be read, can be manipulated, memories can be modified, eliminated or even recovered. Thought is certainly connected to the "soul", to the experiences and feelings manifested so personally, and an impermissible alteration of our thoughts and conscience triggers the need for further clarity on the legal content and scope of this freedom. On a closer look at freedom of thought, conscience and religion, we find that determining exactly what should be covered by these regulations can be more difficult than we thought, being rather obscure, abstract and "cold" regulations. Focusing on the idea that the evolution of mankind has been one of awareness and starting from the need for interaction between law, science and spiritual beliefs, we will try to open the "door of coexistence" between disciplines in an inter- and transdisciplinary vision, in order to "enrich" the interpretation of this matter and to awaken in human consciousness the importance and complexity of addressing freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
