حرية المعتقد في التشريع و القضاء الفرنسيين

Abstract EN

France is a leading country in the field of human rights since it promulgated the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789 which is a reference to many legal systems through the world.

This research exposes the problematic of finding a reconciliation between secularism which is one of the major principles of the Republic and freedom of belief which has been affirmed in several legal texts as well as in several decisions of the Council of State as one of the most important constitutional institutions in France.

The search includes statutes and judicial decisions related to freedom of belief in France in addition to International treaties and reference to some crises that raised controversy, especially around the issues of wearing head scarves and veils by female Muslims.
