It examines the model of "adaptation" as the way forward in understanding the correlation between religious and worldview-based communities and human rights dialogically in order to address the possibility of normative conflicts in a way which could contribute to the resolving of such conflicts.

Human rights ask religious and worldview-based communities to contribute towards their realization – be it in their own context or in other contexts. (Less)
