France, the European Court of Human Rights' own 2014 Grand Chamber judgment, upheld France's ban on concealing the face in public, rejecting the public safety justification but accepting the government's minimum requirements of living together rationale. Its strength is that it is the Court's own judgment, the primary record of its reasoning and holding. Its limit is that it rules on the French law before it rather than offering an independent account of face veiling practice itself, and a UN human rights body reached the opposite conclusion on comparable facts, which a reader should also check.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (10 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Reliability tier 1: the Court's own judgment, the primary record of its reasoning and holding on the case before it.NotesWell-attestedUpheld the French ban on concealing the face in public.
