- Title
Conversión y Derecho. La conversión religiosa en el Derecho internacional y en algunos ordenamientos jurídicos.
- Authors
VEGA, Ana María
- Abstract
Legal systems must guarantee that the search for truth is carried out in accordance with human dignity -and therefore free from and immune to any coercion- and its social nature. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the texts that were subsequently published worldwide echoed this inalienable demand, after numerous difficulties, these texts proclaimed the right to embrace, not to embrace or to change religion. They also proclaimed the complementary right to spread one's own religious convictions by proselytism, evangelization or missionary activity. Despite this, full recognition of these fundamental rights remains a challenge because it is estranged from the idea of religious freedom and from the way of understanding the relationship between politics and religion in the different cultures and/or religions that inspire the state's rights.
