Abstract:
The reality of the diverse societies that are present in the European continent has switched drastic shape in the last decades, and the fact to lodge a multiplicity of very different cultures stresses the differences between the diverse social agents. Laws and rules, as a demonstration of society’s wills to ensure a space of freedom and justice, have to know answering to these realities respecting the diverse cultures, looking for the points in common, but the regulations and decisions adopted nowadays are varied, not ambitious, usually attempting against the freedom to practise and manifest the own culture in favour of an aseptic, artificial and non-existent reality. Particularly, the Islamic veil is employed as a reason to conflict between the West and its vision of the rights and freedoms of the people, whereas for the Muslim community has happened to be a symbol of identity that had skewed in the last decades with the emergence of feminist movements in the Islamic countries. We find us, then, that there is a disparity of laws and regulations with very different answers, and that’s why it is very important the role that plays the European Court of Human Rights in the defence of one of the few texts that we have in common in Europe, especially when encompasses a huge amount of social realities, cultural and juridical, and it is necessary to observe if the needs of multiculturality that demand the societies of the 21st century find their answer in it, or remain unheard, without an ambitious and real application that affect and tie the States to advocate for politics that give a space for everybody, with a plural education and a defence of the freedom of the individual and the cultural communities of all over of Europe.
