"The Costa Rican incident [about a crucifix at Hospital México] is reminiscent of the well-known European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) case “,” decided on March 18, 2011. In that case, the ECHR’s Grand Chamber decided that displaying crucifixes in classrooms in Italy did not violate the freedom of religion or belief of non-Catholics since a crucifix on a wall is a “passive symbol” and does not function as a tool for proselytization."
