Abstract

This essay addresses the cultural legitimacy of human rights norms in Bangladesh and suggests some strategies for Bangladeshi human rights advocates to effectively disseminate and strengthen human rights standards among their constituents. Abdullahi An-Naim argues that human rights will never be secure in a country until they are seen as culturally legitimate, and consequently human rights advocates in the Muslim world must work within the framework of Islam to be effective (1990, 15). Taking this idea as its starting point, this article draws on the idea of public reason and the development of politics in the West to suggest some ways that An-Naims imperative might be realized in practice.

孟加拉国的文化合法性与人权:有效宣传战略

本文探讨了孟加拉国人权规范的“文化合法性”，并为孟加拉国人权倡导者在其选民中有效传播和加强人权标准提出了一些策略。Abdullahi An-Na ' im认为，除非人权在文化上被视为合法，否则人权在一个国家永远不会得到保障，因此“穆斯林世界的人权倡导者必须在伊斯兰教的框架内工作才能有效”(1990,15)。本文以这一思想为出发点，借鉴公共理性思想和西方政治的发展历程，提出了在实践中实现安娜林命令性的一些途径。

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.
