Freedom of Conscience as a Personal Right. Comments against the Background of Selected Jurisprudence of Polish Courts

Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize the principles of protecting freedom of conscience as a personal right, i.e., a non-property right appertaining to the person protected under civil law. The protection is to safeguard the person from acts that run contrary to their worldview or religion. However, it is not absolute. It must take into account the limitations derived from other values recognized under the legal system. Not every act that may cause a sense of harm can be treated as an infringement of personal rights.

Keywords:

personal rights, freedom of conscience, unlawfulness, exclusion of unlawfulness, civil law
