The rule of law in the Middle East and the Islamic world

human rights and the judicial process

<">Since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights much attention has been focused in an international standard on human rights applicable to all cultures. This text examines the predicament of the Muslim world. Are Islamic principles compatible with "the Rule of Law" and "Human Rights" as defined by the West? In this country-by-country survey a range of distinguished scholars explore how the concepts of "the Rule of Law" and "Human Rights" are being debated and applied in the changing social and political climates of Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordon, Palestine, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan.<">--Bloomsbury Publishing.
