We are delighted to announce the publication of The Cambridge Handbook of the Right to Freedom of Thought, co-edited by project PI, Patrick O'Callaghan and project associate scholar, Bethany Shiner. The book also features a chapter on the right to freedom of thought and the ECHR, written by project postdoc, Felicitas Benziger.
The handbook presents the first attempt to set out how the right to freedom of thought is protected, interpreted and applied globally. Eighteen jurisdictions are examined along with chapters describing context-setting, interdisciplinary approaches, and close analysis of the right in relation to specific challenges and conceptual difficulties.
Judge Humberto Sierra Porto, ex-President of the Interamerican Court of Human Rights and ex-President of the Constitutional Court of Colombia writes that: ‘This is an unprecedented academic work in the fields of human rights and constitutional law. It contains a truly global comparative approach to freedom of thought. It offers readers a complete panoramic view on the origins and the evolution of this right all around the world. Furthermore, it presents, and provides answers to, the most challenging questions about freedom of thought in times of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and the digital age. This work will rapidly become canonical for academics, judges and practitioners, both in international systems for the protection of human rights and in domestic legal systems. Beyond any question, this handbook represents a renaissance of freedom of thought in legal fields and political science globally.’
