Press Freedom In Egypt, Amira Abdel Fattah Hussein Jun 2008

Press Freedom In Egypt, Amira Abdel Fattah Hussein

Archived Theses and Dissertations

In many countries, those who dare to criticize their governments, speak on behalf of a suppressed minority, or call for political or economic reforms are often portrayed as "traitors" trying to disseminate hatred and hostility and disturb national stability. In such cases, states that are often "equipped" with tailor-made national laws, remaining on alert to punish those who are courageous enough to challenge their governments can easily harass those who dare to defy the state's policies, measures or even orientation. As noted by James D. Seymour in his article Indices of Political Imprisonment, imprisonment is one of the most …

Islamic Law And Women's Rights: Questioning The Validity Of The Reservations Invoking Islamic Law To The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women (Cedaw), Malak Khalil May 2008

Islamic Law And Women's Rights: Questioning The Validity Of The Reservations Invoking Islamic Law To The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women (Cedaw), Malak Khalil

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis will attempt to demonstrate that the reservations invoking Islamic law to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) are invalid. Reservations to human rights treaties in general are problematic, because these ones not only govern the relationship between States, but they also govern the relationship between the State and its citizens. Thus, finding a balance between state sovereignty, the pillar of international law and the rights of the people remains a challenge in the international arena. Another dimension of the argument is analyzing the validity of claiming Islamic law as a basis …

Too Much Freedom?: The Danger Of The "Liberal" Islamic Reform Project, Karl Christopher Procaccini Feb 2008

Too Much Freedom?: The Danger Of The "Liberal" Islamic Reform Project, Karl Christopher Procaccini

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Two approaches to Islamic law reform dominate the modern debate. Islamic "liberalists" seek to reinterpret sacred texts in the modern context, while Islamic "utilitarian's" pick and choose among the preexisting rules within the various schools of Islamic jurisprudence. While the liberal approach is often promoted as a path to a more progressive Islamic law, there is danger in adopting it as the "authentically Islamic" form of legal reform. In comparison with the alternative utilitarian approach, the liberal position offers a much wider scope for policy choice, in both progressive and reactionary directions. In a context of increasing conservatism, the extra …
