About Atlas of Religious or Belief Minority Rights

The Atlas is a tool to map the rights enjoyed by RBMs and to measure their respect, promotion and implementation. Mapping is about knowing what rights RBMs have in each country, measuring is essential for developing evidence-based policy making. The Atlas provides a reliable and accurate picture of how much EU states promote the identity, participation and equal treatment of RBMs. Currently, it covers 12 EU countries, 13 RBMs and 4 policy areas. The Atlas is designed to offer an easy-to-read comparative description of the status of RBMs in the EU countries. It proposes to identify and compare the different levels of minority rights protection granted by each state, the legal status enjoyed by each minority group both across the EU countries and in each of them, and the specific areas of rights that are at stake (again, both transversally across the EU countries and within each of them). Particular attention is devoted to the rights implementation so that the gap between formal entitlement and real enjoyment of rights can be filled.
