The Importance of Understanding Human Rights and Religious Freedom in Bulgaria

Abstract

Human rights and religious freedom are the basis for peaceful mutual existence in every area of life. These rights and freedoms begin with the family, church and society then continue all the way to national and international politics. To strengthen the position of human rights and religious freedom is one of the major tasks of education. The growing importance of these problems is obvious. During the communist regime human rights were not highly valued. Not only were they violated daily, but all information regarding them was intentionally concealed.
