Objections to antidiscrimination in the name of conscience or religion a conflicting rights approach

In the present chapter, objections to antidiscrimination in the name of conscience or religion are examined as instances of conflicting human rights. The paper sets out to test the author’s previously developed three-step-model for addressing conflicting rights cases, through four case studies involving conscience-based objections to antidiscrimination. For this purpose, the three-step-model is applied in a manner that takes into account the specificities of emancipation rights, as well as the teachings of procedural fairness scholarship
