Un parere which will discuss, that expressed by the Council of Europe regarding the Islamic veil. A blanket ban on wearing the burqa or niqab - the second pan-European organization - would deny to women who want to genuinely and freely covering the face and the right to do so could also be a violation of their right to religious freedom guaranteed by the European Convention Human Rights. And 'what is the report of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Islam, Islamism and Islamophobia, which will be brought to a vote in the classroom in the coming month of June. European governments - suggest the CoE parliamentary - rather than prohibit by law to wear the burqa and niqab, should seek to Muslim women raise awareness of their rights and encourage them to take part in the public and professional life. And that also involve families and communities. The parliamentarians stressed that the ban on wearing certain clothes can not be total, but should be limited to those situations where public order, safety, or the profession of the woman requesting it. A few days ago, the Belgian Parliament has given a green light to the first law imposing a total ban on the burqa in public places and a similar measure should be examined by the French Parliament in July.
