The freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, from which stem
the tenets of pluralism, tolerance, and open-mindedness, are some
of the most basic freedoms of a democratic society. This book
illustrates the current state of the freedom of religion or belief
in Turkey and the challenges and complex problems facing it,
concentrating on the most topical issues: being compelled to reveal
one's religion and beliefs on the national identity card; the right
of conscientious objection and conscientious objectors; compulsory
religious education; recognition of faith groups and the opening of
places of worship; and using and wearing religious symbols and
dress in the public sphere.
This book focuses on the right to privacy in the digital age with a
view to see how it is implemented across the globe in different
jurisdictions. The right to privacy is one of the rights enshrined
in international human rights law. It has been a topic of interest
for both academic and non-academic audiences around the world.
However, with the increasing digitalisation of modern life,
protecting one's privacy has become more complicated. Both state
and non-state organisations make frequent interventions in
citizens' private lives. This edited volume aims to provide an
overview of recent development pertaining to the protection of the
right to privacy in the different judicial systems such as the
European, South Asian, African and Inter-American legal systems.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
Refusing to take part in war is as old as war itself. This
wide-ranging and original book brings together four different
bodies of knowledge to examine the practice of conscientious
objection: historical and philosophical analyses of conscientious
objection as a critique of compulsory military service and
militarization; feminist, LGBT and queer analyses of conscientious
objection as a critique of patriarchy, sexism, and heterosexism;
activist and academic analyses of conscientious objection as a
social movement and individual act of resistance; legal analyses of
the status of conscientious objection in international and national
law. Conscientious objection is an increasingly important subject
of academic and political debate in countries including the US,
Israel and Turkey. This book provides a much needed introduction
and tool for making sense of the history of nation-states in the
20th century and understanding the political developments of the
early 21st century.
