- Description
- Crutcher explores the fundamental conflicts between international human rights law and Islamic law as implemented by Sharia courts. She cites the UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, jus cogens and customary international law, and the human rights treaty regimes. By approaching the conflict through a variation on feminist theory she provides an alternative to the universalist/cultural relativist dichotomy that may polarize the dialogue between proponents of locally implemented Islamic law and supporters of the theory of inherent universal human rights.
