Drawing on critical perspectives from religious studies, the book combines a genealogical assessment of the role of religion in international law with a detailed textual study of the reporting practice of the committees monitoring racial discrimination, civil and political rights, women's rights, and children's rights. Årsheim argues that the role of religion within the rights traditions monitored by the committees varies to the extent that their recommendations risk contradicting one another, thereby undermining their credibility and potential to bring about real change on the ground: Where some committees view religion singularly as a core individual right, others see religion partly as an inherent threat to the realization of other rights, but also as a potent social force to be reckoned with. In order to remedy this situation, Årsheim proposes the publication of a joint general comment by all the committees, spelling out their approach to the role of religion in the implementation of human rights. 410 0$aReligion and Society 606 $aReligious issues & debates$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 610 $aLaw. 610 $aUnited Nations. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $areligion. 615 7$aReligious issues & debates 615 7$aSociology 676 $a341.4/832 700 $aÅrsheim$b Helge, $0897661 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910296437803321 996 $aMaking Religion and Human Rights at the United Nations$92005527 997 $aUNINA
