Explore the compelling argument for a general right to conscientious exemption. This scholarly work presents a liberal defence of an individual’s right to object to legal obligations based on deeply held religious or non-religious beliefs. Examining its application in US, UK, and Canadian law, the book explores how this crucial concept defines liberal democracy. It delves into balancing this right against public interest and non-discrimination principles, ensuring it’s not absolute. Essential reading for legal scholars, ethicists, and policymakers keen on understanding freedom of conscience and its societal implications.
