Prohibition of Islamic Headscarf in Europe from Human Rights Law Perspective

The question of religious symbols has been widely discussed on the last years in Europe. In the last few years, discussions have mainly focused on the Islamic headscarf and whether women should be allowed to wear them in education places. From a human rights law perspective, international judicial or quasi-judicial bodies have considered that the display of religious symbols is a "manifestation" of religion or belief falling within article 18 (3) of ICCPR and article 9 (2) of ECHR and therefore susceptible of limitation. International human rights bodies not only have to be considered requires of articles 18 and 9, but also take into account the other human rights aspects that may be at stake in the situation concerned. Reparation for Damages Caused to Iran by Illegal Attacks of USA to Oil Platforms.
