MUSLIMS IN THE PRACTICE OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH THE PRISM OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN EDUCATION

Abstract

In this paper, the authors presented the characteristic cases from the case law of the
European Court of Human Rights in which members of the Islamic community considered
that their freedom of religion under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights
and Fundamental Freedoms has been violated. At the same time, in those cases, there was
frequently violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, which provides for the
right to education, cumulatively with above mention article. The starting point is the case of
Dahlab v. Switzerland, after which the authors specifically addressed several other cases in
which the European Court of Human Rights considered these rights.
