Islamic countries and the human rights

Abstract

The article points out that human rights, and even more importantly the observance of the human rights have been attracting the attention of particular countries. The problem has been reflected in many declarations, treaties and conventions signed in the twentieth century. It has to be added, though, that the above mentioned have only had psychological value. With reference to Islamic countries, the application of law is unique, as dissimilarity concerning mentality, cultural issues and religion obstructs the development of particular human rights as presented in the Universal declaration of Human Rights. The article presents different approaches to human rights in Islamic countries.
