  DARBY v. SWEDEN

  Auszug aus EGMR, 18.09.2012 - 22897/08

  The Court further reiterates, as held by the European Commission of Human Rights in Darby v. Sweden (23 October 1990, opinion of the Commission, § 45, Series A no. 187):.

  In any event, even assuming that it was and that the facts fall within the ambit of Article 9, the Court reiterates that a difference in treatment will only be discriminatory if it has no objective and reasonable justification (see, for instance, Darby v. Sweden, 23 October 1990, § 31, Series A no. 187).

  Ungarns Kirchengesetz verletzt die Menschenrechte

  For example, the Court accepted that additional funding from the State budget to the State Church does not violate the Convention, in view, among others, of the fact that the employees of the State Church were civil servants with rights and obligations as such with regard to the general public, and not only with regard to members of their congregations (see Ásatrúarfélagið v. Iceland (dec.), no. 22897/08, § 34, 18 September 2012).

  The obligation under Article 9, incumbent on the State's authorities, to remain neutral in the exercise of their powers in the religious domain, and the requirement under Article 14 not to discriminate on grounds of religion, require that if a State sets up a system for granting material benefits to religious groups, for example through the taxation system, all religious groups which so wish must have a fair opportunity to apply for this status and the criteria established must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner on objective and reasonable grounds (see, mutatis mutandis, Religionsgemeinschaft der Zeugen Jehovas and Others, cited above, § 92, and Ásatrúarfélagið v. Iceland, no. 22897/08, § 34, 18 September 2012).
