英国最高法院裁定北爱尔兰只信仰基督教的学校宗教课程侵犯了人权。 UK Supreme Court rules Northern Ireland's Christian-only school religion classes violate human rights.

联合王国最高法院裁定,北爱尔兰要求在学校进行基督教宗教教育和集体礼拜侵犯了人权,因为它没有客观、批判和多元性。 The UK Supreme Court has ruled that Northern Ireland's requirement for Christian religious education and collective worship in schools violates human rights by failing to be objective, critical, and pluralistic. 一致裁决维持了2022年高等法院的裁决,驳回了上诉法院先前作出的推翻判决。 The unanimous decision upholds a 2022 High Court ruling, rejecting a prior reversal by the Court of Appeal. 由贝尔法斯特一名学生及其父亲提起的案件认定,目前的课程相当于灌输思想,给寻求与其信仰相适应的教育的父母带来过重的负担。 The case, brought by a Belfast pupil and her father, found the current curriculum amounts to indoctrination and imposes an undue burden on parents seeking education aligned with their beliefs. 法院强调,宗教教育必须是平衡的和包容性的,不能根植于单一的信仰,但并不要求取消宗教教育。 The court emphasized that religious education must be balanced and inclusive, not rooted in a single faith, but did not call for its removal. 教育部将审查判决,并向学校发布指导意见。 The Department of Education will review the judgment and issue guidance to schools. 法律专家将裁决称为教育权利的一个里程碑时刻,申明学生的思想和宗教自由。 Legal experts called the ruling a landmark moment for educational rights, affirming students’ freedom of thought and religion.
