- Abstract
- First, this Article will set out the facts and context of face veil bans in Europe and the legal challenges surrounding them. Then, the Article will explain the legal criteria that will be used by the European Court of Human Rights when deciding on this issue. Next, in its central argument, this Article will discuss the possible outcome of S.A.S. v. France, by assessing whether the arguments advanced by European governments to ban face veils can pass the human rights test instituted by the court. This assessment will rely on the court’s case law, as well as on the case file of the case currently pending before it. It will also include the results of empirical research conducted among women wearing face veils in Europe and analyze whether the government’s claims are consistent with those empirical studies.
