LAUTSI v ITALY: A TEST CASE FOR SECULARISM:

EHF SUBMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS


The European Humanist Federation, based in Brussels, unites humanist and secularist organizations across Europe.

● We promote the principles of humanism and of a secular society, supporting human rights,  opposing discrimination against non-believers and fighting for equal treatment.

● We work in the European Union (where we are officially recognised as a partner for dialogue) and we cooperate with like-minded Members of the European Parliament.

● We work with the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly.

● We are especially active in the human rights wing of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe), contributing to its conferences and making the case against religious privilege and in favour of democracy and the rule of law.

● We gather and share information, develop policies, maintain a website, publish booklets and hold meetings and conferences.

● We work with our member organisations and help them with information and assist with their campaigns.

● We collaborate with other groups - including religious organisations - with whom we share goals and interests.

And a lot more. . .
