Resumen
This chapter analyses some of the problems that arise in the exercise of the right to religious freedom by minors. To carry out the study, cases have been selected from the European Court of Human Rights that deal with the education of minors in accordance with the religious beliefs of their parents, respect for the cultural and religious tradition of minors in the adoption of protective measures that entail a restriction of parental authority, conflicts between parents themselves regarding the religious orientation of their children, and parental refusal of compulsory vaccination of children. Emphasis is placed on the importance of respecting the child’s autonomy, maturity and best interests without undermining parental rights or making subjective value judgments about their beliefs.
