English Legal System: Freedom of Thought, Conscience, And Religion
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Freedom of Thought, Conscience, And Religion : A right set out in Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and now part of UK law as a consequence of the *Human Rights Act 1998. While freedom of thought itself is an *absolute right, and as such not subject to public-interest limitations, the right to manifest one’s beliefs or religion is a *qualified right; therefore the public interest can be used to justify an interference providing that this is prescribed by law, designed for a legitimate purpose, and proportionate.
