Islamic state practices in the framework of Islamic and international human rights instruments

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to provide an analytical perspective of essentially four current Islamic human rights instruments adopted under the protection of two different, parallel 'Arab' and 'Islamic' organisations, namely, the League of Arab States (LAS) and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and nine relevant, often corresponding, major international human rights instruments adopted under the exclusive sponsorship of one global organisation, namely, the United Nations (UN).
