Abstract | ||
The issue of human rights is currently one of the challenging issues facing the Islamic countries in international forums. Although The human right issue has had a different background in each Muslim country individually, yet the Muslim Countries face more or less some similar challenges as a whole. This article is an attempt to explore the process of human right evolution in these countries and to identify the challenges ahead. The article argues that the challenges are theoretical and practical ones. It also argues that some of them are domestic ones and some are imposed by outside world. The article regards the approval of the Declaration of Human Rights in Islam at the meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Cairo in 1990 as a turning point in the evolutionary process partly due to the realization of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and partly to the growing need and demand inside those countries. | ||
