One of the great tasks, perhaps the greatest, weighing on modern international lawyers is to craft a universal law and legal process capable of ordering relations among diverse people with differing religions, histories, cultures, laws, and languages. In so doing, we need to take the world's peoples as we find them and not pretend out of existence their wide variety. This volume, now available in paperback, builds on the eleven essays edited by Mark Janis in 1991 in The Influence of Religion and the Development of International Law, more than doubling its authors and essays and covering more religious traditions. Now included are studies of the interface between international law and ancient religions, Confucianism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as essays addressing the impact of religious thought on the literature and sources of international law, international courts, and human rights law.

Download International Law and Religion Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This books maps out the territory of international law and religion challenging receiving traditions in fundamental aspects. On the one hand, the connection of international law and religion has been little explored. On the other, most of current research on international legal thought presents international law as the very victory of secularization. By questioning that narrative of secularization this book approaches these traditions from a new perspective. From the Middle Ages' early conceptualizations of rights and law to contemporary political theory, the chapters bring to life debates concerning the interaction of the meaning of the legal and the sacred. The contributors approach their chapters from an array of different backgrounds and perspectives but with the common objective of investigating the mutually shaping relationship of religion and law. The collaborative endeavour that this volume offers makes available substantial knowledge on the question of international law and religion --Front flap.

Download Religious Actors and International Law Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Religious actors are unique in international governance due to the theological context in which they operate. This book demonstrates that while their role and actions may be distinct, they rely on international law to add legitimacy to their actions, and are bound by international legal rules and norms in the same way as other actors.

Freedom of religion is a subject, which has throughout human history been a source of profound disagreements and conflict. In the modern era, religious-based intolerance continues to provide lacerative and tormenting concern to the possibility of congenial human relationships. As the present study examines, religions have been relied upon to perpetuate discrimination and inequalities, and to victimise minorities to the point of forcible assimilation and genocide. The study provides an overview of the complexities inherent in the freedom of religion within international law and an analysis of the cultural-religious relativist debate in contemporary human rights law. As many of the chapters examine, Islamic State practices have been a major source of concern. In the backdrop of the events of 11 September 2001, a considerable focus of this volume is upon the Muslim world, either through the emergent State practices and existing constitutional structures within Muslim majority States or through Islamic diasporic communities resident in Europe and North-America.

Download The Changing Nature of Religious Rights Under International Law Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"The book explores, and challenges, the particular institutional perspectives which emerge in the context of differing approaches to the protection of religious rights. It identifies new directions for approaching religious rights through international law by examining existing legal tools, assessing their achievements and shortcomings. By studying religious organizations' support for international human rights protection, as well as religious critiques of international human rights, it offers complementary perspectives on the institutions and processes of religious rights protection. It identifies ways in which these rights are being eroded and suggests new forms of reinforcement and protection, not least by way of an alternative religious 'bill of rights'. So this collection of essays is offered as a record of a set of important debates. The texts expose not merely the evolving normative framework within which questions of religious rights are resolved in international law. The Editors have been as much interested in how activists in the human rights field perceive that framework, as well as the political contests which lie behind them. By interweaving practitioner perspectives with scholarly reflection, the volume provides an opportunity for the reader to come away with an understanding of how international law works in a context both fascinating and fluid"--Unedited summary from book jacket.
