- Abstract
- As part of the Benelux seminar of the International Association of Constitutional Law (I-CONS), two (sub)themes related to the extension of participatory democracy practices to religious and humanist actors are being discussed. The first point (S. Wattier) is to move beyond a purely informal and political approach to observe the emergence of legal requirements regarding the necessity and framework of these instances of dialogue. Among these legal constraints—and this is the second point (L.-L. Christians)—we examine a growing asymmetry in the invitations issued by public authorities. In accordance with Resolution 2647 (2026), these invitations must " include representatives of the widest possible range of religions or beliefs". In the most hard cases, such asymmetries in invitations could constitute reprehensible procedural discrimination.
