The human right to freedom of religion continues to be seriously violated around the world. In light of this scenario, this article seeks to understand the concept of the human right to freedom of religion or belief, i.e. what is its scope of protection? When is it violated? What is understood about the content of this human right around the world, and not just in the Western liberal/secular context? To this end, this article analyzes the international normative framework for freedom of religion or belief, i.e. the universal and regional human rights systems, as well as how the norms are applied by the corresponding mechanisms. The aim is to understand the common normative content of the international provisions dealing with this freedom, its scope of protection and the situations in which it is violated.
