Abstract

Abstract The discourse on the evolution of the principles of international laws and laws amongst nations have always taken a Eurocentric approach. The common argument and perspectives is that contemporary international law evolved from the Christendom to the Spanish School and Grotius, while downplaying the influence of the Islamic law of nations in shaping issues of acculturation, accommodation, rules of engagement in war relating to international law. This paper tends to x-ray and investigate the impact of the Islamic law of nations, from the the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah to the Siyar of Muhammad ibn Shaybani. It tries to highlight the relevance of the Muslim East and its concrete contributions to Laws and treaties of the Middle Ages to recent times and also argues, using existing literature, that the European Christian society only adopted what already existed in the Muslim, Islamic laws and tried to Christianise them overtime. The paper finds that further investigation and interrogation will reveal much more of the influence of the Islamic laws on contemporary laws of relations amongst nations and beyond.

国际体系中外交互动与伊斯兰国法的再评估

摘要关于国际法原则和国家间法律演变的论述一直以欧洲为中心。共同的论点和观点是，当代国际法从基督教世界演变到西班牙学派和格劳秀斯，同时淡化了伊斯兰国法在形成与国际法有关的文化适应、迁就、战争交战规则等问题方面的影响。本文倾向于透视和研究伊斯兰教法对各国的影响，从《荷台比耶条约》到穆罕默德·伊本·沙巴尼(Muhammad ibn Shaybani)的Siyar。它试图强调东方穆斯林的相关性及其对中世纪和近代法律和条约的具体贡献，并利用现有文献辩称，欧洲基督教社会只是采用了已经存在于穆斯林和伊斯兰法律中的东西，并试图将它们基督教化。本文发现，进一步的调查和讯问将揭示更多伊斯兰教法对当代国家间及国际关系法律的影响。
