Surprisingly, it looks like the Court of Human Rights was partly swayed by a concern over social cohesion
>The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Belgium's ban on face veils does not violate the European Convention on Human Rights.
>The court agreed that the ban sought to guarantee the concept of "living together" and the "protection of the rights and freedoms of others".
>The court found that the concern to ensure respect for the minimum guarantees of life in society could be regarded as an element of the 'protection of the rights and freedoms of others' and that the ban was justifiable in principle, solely to the extent that it sought to guarantee the conditions of 'living together'."
