"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) represented a dramatic moment in the emergence of the new international discourse on universal human rights. Contemporary debates around the "freedom of religion" have roots in issues that shaped deliberations from the opening sessions of the Drafting Committee in 1946 to its proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. Revisionist historiography of the 20th century problematizes traditional narratives of the origin of modern human rights and suggests that this discourse was a new mid-twentieth century development facilitated by the emergence of faith-based movements of social and political discourse based in Christian theories of human dignity and rights. On the Islamic side, it was only in the latter half of the 20th century that Muslim intellectuals came face to face with the concept of human rights and Islamic participations remained minimal and mostly within a reactive mindset. The principles of freedom of religion and the right to convert from Islam to another faith were among the major sticking issues. This thesis explores recent historiography on the 20th century human rights movement and demonstrates how representatives of the new faith-based view influenced the drafting process with a close focus on articles related to religion and religious freedom, particularly article 18. It then discusses the engagement of some leading Islamic human rights scholars and grassroots movements towards the end of the twentieth century and their attempts to conceptualize the relation between Islamic doctrines and the human rights discourse around the freedom of religion. Academics such as Fazlur Rahman, Khaled Abou El Fadl, and Abdullahi An-Na'im are discussed as they attempt to present a rights-oriented re-reading of the tradition. A special focus is placed on Mohammad Shaḥrur's "contemporary reading" as one of the most innovative approaches and his arguments for a deep critique of the classical sources of Islamic jurisprudence other than the Qur'an (e.g. Sunna, Consensus, Analogy).This thesis explores Islamic discourses on rights as a complex and evolving response to equally new and unsettling developments and highlights how Shaḥrur positions religious freedom as the crucial test for a renewed understanding of Islam and human rights.

Since at least the attacks of September 11, 2001, one of the most pressing political questions of the age has been whether Islam is hostile to religious freedom. Daniel Philpott examines conditions on the ground in forty-seven Muslim-majority countries today and offers an honest, clear-eyed answer to this urgent question. It is not, however, a simple answer. From a satellite view, the Muslim world looks unfree. But, Philpott shows, the truth is much more complex. Some one-fourth of Muslim-majority countries are in fact religiously free. Of the other countries, about forty percent are governed not by Islamists but by a hostile secularism imported from the West, while the other sixty percent are Islamist. The picture that emerges is both honest and hopeful. Yes, most Muslim-majority countries are lacking in religious freedom. But, Philpott argues, the Islamic tradition carries within it "seeds of freedom," and he offers guidance for how to cultivate those seeds in order to expand religious freedom in the Muslim world and the world at large. It is an urgent project. Religious freedom promotes goods like democracy and the advancement of women that are lacking in the Muslim-majority world and reduces ills like civil war, terrorism, and violence. Further, religious freedom is simply a matter of justice--not an exclusively Western value, but rather a universal right rooted in human nature. Its realization is critical to the aspirations of religious minorities and dissenters in Muslim countries, to Muslims living in non-Muslim countries or under secular dictatorships, and to relations between the West and the Muslim world. In this thoughtful book, Philpott seeks to establish a constructive middle ground in a fiery and long-lasting debate over Islam.

The essays and articles selected for this volume analyze what is generally understood by freedom of religion and belief in today’s world. The different aspects of this fundamental right are considered from the contents of freedom of religion, to the possible limitations of this freedom; and from the freedom of, or freedom from, conundrum to the question of the collective or individual right. This volume reflects legal, philosophical and international perspectives, addresses numerous unanswered questions and offers an effective overview of the current literature and debate in this aspect of the discipline of law and religion.

In this 'Dickensian century' of human rights, the world has cultivated the best of religious rights protections, but witnessed the worst of religious rights abuses. In this volume, Jimmy Carter, John T. Noonan, Jr., and a score of leading jurists assess critically and comparatively the religious rights laws and practices of the international community and of selected states in the Atlantic continents. This volume and its companion Religious Human Rights in Global Perspective: Religious Perspectives are products of an ongoing project on religion, human rights and democracy undertaken by the Law and Religion Program at Emory University.

Repulsed by evil Nazi practices and desiring to create a better world after the devastation of World War II, in 1948 the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Because of the secular imprint of this text, it has faced a series of challenges from the world’s religions, both when it was crafted and in subsequent political and legal struggles. The book mixes philosophical, legal, and archival arguments to make the point that the language of human rights is a valid one to address the world’s disputes. It updates the rationale used by the early UN visionaries and makes it available to twenty-first-century believers and unbelievers alike. The book shows how the debates that informed the adoption of this pivotal normative international text can be used by scholars to make broad and important policy points.
