Product description

This collection of 13 papers examines many of the freedoms listed in section 2 of the Charter (including freedom of conscience, freedom of thought, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association) that have been “forgotten” in the sense that they have not received (much) interpretation in jurisprudence or discussion in legal scholarship.

The papers first discuss the jurisprudential background of the Charter and then the common themes and connections between different forgotten freedoms. The volume then analyzes in depth each of the fundamental freedoms. Also included is an appendix outlining the history of section 2 of the Charter and resulting sources, as well as comparative provisions in international human rights instruments, that may be used for further research.

The collection is divided into five parts:

  • Part I: Recovering What Has Been Forgotten
  • Part II: Freedom of Conscience and Religion
  • Part III: Freedom of Thought, Belief, Opinion and Expression, Including Freedom of the Press and Other Media of Communication
  • Part IV: Freedom of Peaceful Assembly
  • Part V: Freedom of Association
