Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) is
widely considered to be the most influential statement on religious
freedom in human history. Religious Freedom and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights provides a groundbreaking account of
its origins and developments, examining the background, key
players, and outcomes of Article 18, and setting it within the
broader discourse around international religious freedom in the
1940s. Taking issue with standard accounts that see the text of the
Universal Declaration as humanity's joint response to the
atrocities of World War II, it shows instead how central features
of Article 18 were intimately connected to the political projects
and visions of particular actors involved in the start-up of the UN
Human Rights program. This will be essential reading for anyone
grappling with the historical and contemporary meaning of human
rights and religious freedom.
