Dilemmas about the interaction of international human rights and the sharia in the 21st century
Abstract
The non-governmental organizations of the European Union regularly publish strictly condemning human rights reports on Islamic countries, including the self-proclaimed secular Turkey. The summary often articulates shortcomings, which are based on the provisions of religious law. However, the rejection of the provisions of religious law caused even greater resentment among the population affected by religious traditions. What can be the solution? Total rejection of religious law? Its reformation? How can these two areas of law be harmonized for the sake of economic and social development? I am looking for answers to these questions in my study presenting the solution proposals of the main representatives of the literature.
