Papa, Maria Irene
This article examines how the UN has addressed freedom of religion or
belief, both through the elaboration of norms and standards and by means of
monitoring mechanisms. It first considers the principal legal instruments, focusing on Art. 18 UDHR, Art. 18 ICCPR and the 1981 Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief. Although the centrality of freedom of religion has long been acknowledged, no shared understanding has yet emerged as to its precise scope or the legitimate grounds for its restriction. The absence of a dedicated convention under UN auspices illustrates this lack of consensus. The article then turns to institutional practice, analysing the contribution of the HR Committee, the HRC and the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief. It argues that, notwithstanding sustained efforts, the vagueness of existing norms and the structural weakness of monitoring procedures prevent the UN from playing a more effective role in ensuring full respect for this fundamental right.

El Haj, Tarak
This article examines the challenges of credibility assessment in religion
based asylum claims, focusing on the Italian system and offering a comparative overview of selected European jurisdictions. It analyses the application of key criteria – internal and external consistency, plausibility, and the authenticity of sur place conversions – highlighting divergences in interpretation and procedural safeguards across Member States. The paper also explores the crucial role of interpreters in safeguarding the fairness of proceedings. It argues for further harmonisation and effective implementation of EU and UNHCR guidelines to secure the fundamental rights enshrined in EU law and the ECHR, particularly given the personal and often unverifiable nature of religious belief.
