UNA CONTIENDA ¿INÚTIL? SÍMBOLOS RELIGIOSOS Y ESPACIO PÚBLICO EN ARGENTINA

Abstract

In recent years, the display of religious symbols in public areas has become a judicial and political controversy in Argentina. While tribunals have concluded that that display does not mean that the state endorses a particular religion or that those symbols involve some kind of discrimination to citizens with a different religious belief or to those who are agnostic or atheists, some judges and prosecutors think that this display weakens the neutrality of the judicial power. But the problem that the tribunals focus is if there is a genuine constitutional controversy.
