Why should Muslims abandon Jihad? Human rights and the future of international law
Article Abstract:
There is need for a principled commitment and systematic respect for the institutional framework of international legality and the rule of law to encourage Muslims to abandon traditional notions of jihad. A similar framework is also necessary for the protection of human rights as well because in the absence of this framework, the credibility and viability of human rights norms would be undermined.
