Human Rights Contestations: Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity, Anthony Chase Dec 2015

Human Rights Contestations: Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity, Anthony Chase

Anthony Chase

This article asks if and why sexual orientation and gender identity-related rights should connect to a human rights framework. To answer that question it begins by addressing how we understand what makes human rights resonate or not resonate and if addressing a contentious issue such as sexual orientation or gender identity from within a human rights frame advances or detracts from such resonance. The argument developed in response is anti-foundational: i.e., that human rights’ resonance has not come from some universally valid extra-political foundational source but, rather, comes from how human rights have been transformed (at times) into tools that …

Liberal Islam And 'Islam And Human Rights': A Sceptic's View, Anthony Chase Dec 2005

Liberal Islam And 'Islam And Human Rights': A Sceptic's View, Anthony Chase

Anthony Chase

Liberal Islam has become increasingly prominent in academic discourse with its argument that Islam is the necessary foundation to human rights in the Muslim world. This article argues that this theoretical premise is misguided.
