History and future of the Islamic human rights system: steps forward

Abstract

 The publication examines the role of the Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights in the formation and development of the Islamic human rights system. It is shown that the Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights drew the attention of the global and regional Islamic community to  the problem of human rights in Islamic states; provided a theoretical and methodological foundation for the Islamic human rights system, including  future conventions and other regional documents in the field of human rights; has become a reason for discussions about human rights in Islam among theorists and practitioners; served as an impetus for the  development of the doctrine of human rights in the Islamic region. It is  stated that the Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights has eliminated one of the alleged contradictions between the doctrine of Islam and the international concept of human rights. It has been substantiated that, although today the Islamic human rights system is not fully functioning, significant progress has been made, which suggests that its full launch will take place as soon as possible, for which only the political will of the Arab League member states is needed, but also support from the West, contrary to the dubious interests of geopolitical confrontation.
