Workshop report and declaration: Religious Freedom and Human DignityThomas David DuBois, historian of modern China and transnational Asia, kindly reported on the Law and the Politics of Freedom of Religion in Asia workshop (12-14 December, 2018) at the NUS Law School for our Bulletin. With seven panels, and a closing roundtable, the event covered a great deal of ground. Papers discussed the evolution of legal ideas and bureaucratic structures, with a significant emphasis on the events or cases that made individual jurisdictions unique. Geographically, papers focused largely on Southeast Asia, but reached from Japan to Pakistan, with some discussion of Australia as a point of comparison with other countries that share a common law background.
