Resumen
Both the European Convention on Human Rights and other normative texts promoted by the Council of Europe give freedom of thought, conscience and religion a decisive condition for preserving the pluralist character of liberal democracies. In the course of this chapter we will see how the various bodies of the Council of Europe have worked intensively towards the recognition, protection and promotion of the rights related to personal beliefs. Our analysis will focus on three areas: first, on the political leadership marked through the resolutions of the Parliamentary Assembly and the Committee of Ministers; second, in the regular safeguard and promotion activities carried out by several Council of Europe bodies; and third, in the account of various initiatives that have been taken to promote dialogue between different creeds as well as to raise awareness and warn about intolerant attitudes towards the diversity of faiths and sensitivities in Europe.
