In light of the centenary of the separation of Church and State in the 1925 Constitution
The UC Center for Law and Religion is a research center dedicated to the study of the relationships between law and religion, from the perspective of the fundamental right to religious freedom which – according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – consists of “everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”
This website provides machine translation to facilitate access for English-speaking users. Some expressions may be translated literally and may not accurately reflect their original meaning in Spanish.
Our mission is to promote research and dialogue on law and religion in Latin America, disseminating high-quality research that strengthens the understanding of religious freedom and State-Church relations, within the framework of mutual respect and democratic coexistence.
