Freedom of conscience is one of the foundations of a contemporary society. However, we have recently seen an increase in the erosion of the freedom of conscience through surveillance technology, religious discrimination, re-education camps and other constraints that inhibit religious and other freedoms. This has weakened the freedom of conscience as well as national and global security situation across the globe. Scientists and legal practitioners from different countries will soon gather in Vilnius to discuss freedom of conscience and related global security issues.

On 27th April International Scientific Conference with a title “Freedom of Conscience in a Time of Global (In)Security“ took place at Mykolas Romeris University (Lithuania). The speakers of this interdisciplinary conference discussed freedom of conscience contemporary issues. Particular states, laws and court judgments were taken into consideration in order to find out how freedom of conscience situation is changing and how it impacts on the national and global security situation.
