La Cour européenne des droits de l’Homme valide les décrets belges interdisant l’abattage rituel

Alice Di Concetto et Aude-Solveig Epstein (Maîtresse de conférence en droit privé à l’Université de Paris X – Nanterre) analysent dans le blog “Le Club des juristes” l’arrêt de la CEDH relatif à l’abattage rituel. Cet article fut l’occasion d’expliquer en détail sur la position de l’Institut sur cette épineuse question, qui appelle à trouver une solution équilibrée, entre objectifs de protection animale et libertés fondamentales d’une part, et réaliste d’autre part, en prenant compte de la réalité juridique et économique du marché mondial de la viande casher et halal.

Still, it welcomed the fact that there are now concrete dates for legislative proposals.”
