Abstract
The article focus on collective rights and on cultural/religious communities. It shows the huge structural and functional differences that mark these last groups compared with the traditional model of legal bodies, such as associations and/or corporations. These approach points out the unfitness of our old legal categories to deal with problems arising from a multicultural and multireligious society, where new cultural and religious minorities, though they act as not organized groups, yet claim recognition in terms of collective rights. The constitutional dispositions about religious communities offer an excellent ground for testing the theories on both religious (or cultural) communities and collective rights.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
