Abstract

In this article, we reconstruct the international standards relating to the religious education of a juvenile placed in an isolation centre in connection with the commission of a prohibited act. From a human rights perspective, this is a particularly complicated situation because there is a competition between parties that (at least potentially) have the right to decide on such education. These parties include: juveniles, their parent(s) or legal guardians and the authorities of an isolation centre. The rights of each of them are governed by various legal acts of a different rank – both in an international and national order. An analysis of international documents made it possible to assess the legal situation within the scope defined in the title and formulate certain postulates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
