Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

When assessing claims concerning bans on the use of religious symbols in the public sphere, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) generally frames the analysis within the clauses of freedom of religion under article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), justifying restrictions based on unconvincing and conflicting views of the state duty of neutrality. There is almost no attention or effort to consider the discriminatory potential of such bans based on article 14 of the ECHR, even in cases where the applicants have invoked article 14 to challenge them. The Aristotelian approach to equality has dominated the ECtHR case law under the non-discrimination clauses of article 14, with positive developments only recently, and on specific grounds of discrimination. Laws and policies that affect religious expression through symbols are met with little enthusiasm by the ECtHR concerning evaluation of their effects on specific groups. \nIn the Canadian system, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) has long abandoned formal equality as the only approach under section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights. The equality of a measure is evaluated by a substantive equality approach, which focuses on the effects of the treatment, looking at the full context and the situation of the affected group. The group dimension of section 15 substantive equality offers a powerful analytical tool for capturing and exposing the effects of general bans on the use of religious symbols on religious minorities. Studying the SCC’s approach should incentivize the ECtHR to develop article 14’s substantive equality potential in order to identify the discriminatory nature of the legislative bans on the enjoyment of religious identity through the use of symbols. A robust substantive conception of nondiscrimination clauses under article 14 would enable a structured evaluation of vulnerabilities, group disadvantages, and intersectional effects that such bans typically entail

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
