Abstract
Th e growing concern raised by terrorism and a general trend toward Islam have resulted in many governments introducing various forms of restriction concerning religious garments. Such policies pose a threat to the principle of secularism, as it is clear, especially in the COVID-19 era where everybody has to wear a mask, that these restrictions cannot be solely justifi ed by “ public security ” reasons. Th is chapter tries to explain how, in this arguably discriminating environment, technological progress can make a diff erence to overcome unreasonable restraints to an individual ’ s rights. Yet, this “ way out ” comes with its own risk of causing rights violations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
