A thematic exhibition “World religions and law” is organized in the legal information reading room (207b) since May 29 till August 27.

Religion is the force that unites people and possesses a huge pacifistic potential, but nevertheless, the number of religious conflicts proves that the religion can separate people. The problem of religious and state confessional relations has a great significance for states’ civilizational integrity preservation. In the modern world, religions have an important role in forming of the whole state legal system in many countries that have different religious systems.
