Resumen
The chapter highlights how the Holy See moves in the promotion and protection of religious freedom or belief, identifying the conceptual framework that supports and expresses the interventions and actions developed and undertaken by a non-State subject of international law. International practice identifies two different profiles through which the Holy See manifests and carries out this function: the conclusion of bilateral treaties and its presence in intergovernmental bodies. For both profiles, the reconstruction of a conceptual framework, the objective of this contribution, requires a serious reflection on the articulation of the problems that arise at an international level in terms of freedom of religion and belief. The contribution reveals that the Holy See proposes dialogue between religions or between religions and States to build a coexistence capable of overcoming prejudices, limits and conflicts in matters of religious freedom.
