Description
The right to religious belief and expression is an undoubted human right. Yet, religious doctrine regarding women’s rights, sexuality and many other issues pose challenges for other human rights. Is this an intractable dilemma? Can lawyers contribute to a resolution of this question, or should lawyers stay out of religious issues?
