Abstract

To understand the Muslim world it is essential to see it in a transnational context that is informed by its heterogeneity, power contestations, and continuous change. To understand human rights' foundations and origins it is essential to grapple with its legal, political, normative, and institutional groundings, and bear in mind its ongoing reconfigurations and global impacts. Each of these tasks is illustrated by how movements for the rights of women and sexual minorities have come to impact on the transnational Muslim world and international human rights. This article explores each element within these complementary themes as a way of framing how and why the international human rights regime increasingly intersects with the Muslim world in a way that underpins challenges to authoritarian politics and the monolithic constructs of politics and society on which authoritarianism thrives.

跨国穆斯林世界，人权的基础和起源，以及他们正在进行的交叉

要了解穆斯林世界，有必要把它放在一个跨国的背景下看，这个背景是由它的异质性、权力争夺和持续变化所决定的。要理解人权的基础和起源，就必须把握其法律、政治、规范和制度基础，并牢记其正在进行的重构和全球影响。妇女和性少数群体权利运动如何对跨国穆斯林世界和国际人权产生影响，说明了这些任务中的每一项。本文探讨了这些互补主题中的每一个要素，作为构建国际人权制度如何以及为什么越来越多地与穆斯林世界相交的一种方式，这种方式支撑着对威权政治的挑战，以及威权主义蓬勃发展的政治和社会的整体结构。

期刊介绍： Muslim World Journal of Human Rights promises to serve as a forum in which barriers are bridged (or at least, addressed), and human rights are finally discussed with an eye on the Muslim world, in an open and creative manner. The choice to name the journal, Muslim World Journal of Human Rights reflects a desire to examine human rights issues related not only to Islam and Islamic law, but equally those human rights issues found in Muslim societies that stem from various other sources such as socio-economic and political factors, as well the interaction and intersections of the two areas. MWJHR welcomes submissions that apply the traditional human right framework in their analysis as well as those that transcend the boundaries of contemporary scholarship in this regard. Further, the journal also welcomes inter-disciplinary and/or comparative approaches to the study of human rights in the Muslim world in an effort to encourage the emergence of new methodologies in the field. Muslim World Journal of Human Rights recognizes that several highly contested debates in the field of human rights have been reflected in the Muslim world but have frequently taken on their own particular manifestation in accordance with the varying contexts of contemporary Muslim societies.
