About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Derecho, Estado y Religión (DER) is the academic journal of the Center for Studies in Law and Religion at River Plate Adventist University. As such, and within a framework of broad academic freedom, DER shares the fundamental principles of the Center: that religious freedom and conscience is an inalienable human right; as such, that right must be equal for all; that right finds greater protection when Church and State are separated. Within this framework, a central concern of DER is the study of the legal and social mechanisms to protect religious minorities. The aim of the publication is to provide an academic forum in which experts in law, religion, and related disciplines from around the world share the results of their research and reflections. Only the authors are responsible about the opinions expressed in articles, notes and other communications.
