The Protection of Victims of Armed Conflict in Islamic Law and International Humanitarian Law
Islamic law is one of the oldest legal systems in existence, and has developed detailed rules regulating warfare. With armed conflicts taking place in so many parts of the Muslim world, the Islamic law of war is as indispensable as ever for the protection of civilians and other persons hors de combat. Over the centuries, classical Muslim jurists have provided impressive legal literature, which, just as international humanitarian law (IHL), brings humanity in war. This publication offers a comparative analysis of contemporary IHL and the Islamic Law of war, highlighting the complementarities and common values between the two streams of law.
