Synopsis

This volume is a comprehensive and authoritative comparative analysis which asks whether Muslim States can comply with international human rights law whilst adhering to Islamic law. The traditional arguments on this subject are examined and responded to from both international human rights and Islamic legal perspectives. Through this analysis, it offers a clear vision of the realisation of international human rights within the application of Islamic law.

Review:

"Mashood Baderin's International Human Rights and Islamic Law is a monumental contribution to an area that needs more scholarly contributions from intellectuals and scholars of Islamic law.... This book will be very illuminating for students, administrators and judicial personnel not only from the western world. Besides being knowledgeable in Islamic law, scripture, and Hadith, Baderin shows a remarkable grasp and understanding of international human rights law.... There is a pressing need to shift the intellectual discourse from that of a clash of civilizations to that of a dialogue among cultures. Baderin's work could pave the way to this alternative discourse."--The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
