This volume of Annotated Legal Documents on Islam in Europe covers the European Court of Human Rights and consists of an annotated collection of legal documents affecting the status of Islam and Muslims. The legal texts are published in the original English and French languages while the annotations and supporting material are in English. By legal documents are meant the texts of legislation, including relevant secondary legislation, as well as significant court decisions. Each legal text is preceded by an introduction describing the historical, political and legal circumstances of its adoption, plus a short paragraph summarising its content. The focus of the collection is on the religious dimensions of being Muslim in Europe, i.e. on individuals' access to practise their religious obligations and on the ability to organise and manifest their religious life.

Fedor Arkhipov, Ph.D. student (2025), University of Insubria, Como, is a Ph.D. student of the Italian National Doctoral Program in Religious Studies (DREST) in the field of Law and Religion. The topic of the doctoral dissertation is: “Law and religion in Contemporary Russia based on the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation”.
