This essay is one of the first collaborative efforts to identify the underlying norms embedded in diverse traditions of Islamic law as these apply to contemporary Muslim communities experiencing conflict or transitioning from conflict. This long overdue endeavor draws upon comparative legal analyses, postconflict justice traditions, global governance, and empirical conflict studies to explore why Islamic legal norms are not often used as a resource for restraint and guidance in contemporary conflict settings. In exploring this puzzle, the authors make the case for strengthening commensurate Islamic and international conflict norms for complex conflicts and postconflict tradition. We also situate Islamic postconflict justice norms—which are too often confined to religious and natural law discussions—into contemporary problems of security policy, conflict prevention, and problems of governance. We indicate the many benefits of such a comparative approach for citizens of diverse Muslim and Arabs states and communities, trying to build pathways out of conflict, and for humanitarian and human rights practitioners working in such arenas toward similar goals. An additional, important benefit in excavating such shari’a norms is in providing the intellectual basis to counter politicized, extremist, and instrumentalist uses of Islamic law to justify extreme uses of political violence across the Middle East, Central and South Asian, and African regions.

冲突后局势中的正义:伊斯兰法律和穆斯林社区是转型中的利益相关者

本文是为识别嵌入在伊斯兰法律多种传统中的基本规范而开展的首批合作努力之一,因为这些规范适用于经历冲突或从冲突过渡的当代穆斯林社区。这项漫长的逾期工作需要借鉴比较性的法律分析,冲突后的司法传统,全球治理和经验冲突研究,以探索为什么伊斯兰法律规范在当代冲突环境中不经常被用作约束和指导的资源。在探索这个难题时,作者提出了针对复杂冲突和冲突后传统加强相应的伊斯兰和国际冲突规范的理由。我们还将伊斯兰冲突后司法规范(通常仅限于宗教和自然法的讨论)纳入当代的安全政策问题中,预防冲突和治理问题。我们指出,这种比较方法对于穆斯林和阿拉伯人各州和社区的居民,试图建立摆脱冲突的途径以及在这样的领域朝着类似目标努力的人道主义和人权从业者,具有许多益处。挖掘此类伊斯兰教法规范的另一个重要好处是,为反击伊斯兰法律的政治化,极端主义和工具主义使用提供理智基础,以证明在中东,中亚,南亚和非洲地区极端使用政治暴力是有道理的。对于在这些领域朝着类似目标努力的人道主义和人权从业人员。挖掘此类伊斯兰教法规范的另一个重要好处是,为反击伊斯兰法律的政治化,极端主义和工具主义使用提供理智基础,以证明在中东,中亚,南亚和非洲地区极端使用政治暴力是有道理的。对于在这些领域朝着类似目标努力的人道主义和人权从业人员。挖掘此类伊斯兰教法规范的另一个重要好处是,为反击伊斯兰法律的政治化,极端主义和工具主义使用提供理智基础,以证明在中东,中亚,南亚和非洲地区极端使用政治暴力是有道理的。
