Altering regulations – freedom of religion in Hungary

Abstract

In the paper the new hungarian constitutional regulation and related statues on the right to conscience and religion and establishment of churches are examined and compared to the previous regulatory framework. The comparism seems necessary as in 2011 the Hungarian Parliament adopted a new Fundamental Law and new statue on these fundamentak rights. Due to the changed constitutional framerwork concerning the establishment of churches, it seems possible that in Hungary there may be a serious deficit in promoting human rights.
