Natural Law And Universal Human Rights, David F. Forte
Natural Law And Universal Human Rights, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Abdullahi An-Na'im has set his life's quest on attempting to find a way that Muslim society can be attuned to the moral commands of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a Western creation.

Among these countries are several that profess a commitment to Islamic law as a source of national law, including some that identify Islamic law as the principal source of law and some that go so far as to declare themselves "Islamic states." The status of …
