Abstract

The pursuit of a universal framework for Sharia economic law faces complex jurisdictional challenges in transnational and extraterritorial contexts. Antarctica, governed under the Antarctic Treaty System as a demilitarized and non-sovereign research zone, presents a unique legal landscape to explore how Islamic economic principles might operate in legally pluralistic, cooperative environments. This study examines the theoretical viability of implementing Sharia economic law within global research zones, using Antarctica as a conceptual testbed for non-territorial legal harmonization. The research applies a comparative legal methodology, synthesizing principles of international law, Sharia economic jurisprudence (fiqh muamalah), and environmental governance. Key findings highlight shared values between Sharia law and Antarctic governance, including non-exploitative resource management, communal benefit, and equitable stewardship. The absence of territorial sovereignty in Antarctica provides a neutral platform to theorize models of ethical finance and contract law that transcend nation-state limitations. The study concludes that Antarctica’s cooperative governance structure offers valuable theoretical insights for developing a universal, ethically grounded framework for Sharia economic law in transnational zones. This research contributes to debates on global legal pluralism, ethics in frontier economies, and the adaptability of Islamic law in novel legal environments.

Abstract

Background. The increasing integration of blockchain technology into legal frameworks necessitates a critical re-evaluation of how evidence and legal validity are conceptualized within decentralized justice systems. Traditional jurisprudence relies on centralized authority for the authentication and admissibility of evidence. However, blockchain’s immutable and decentralized nature offers new paradigms for trust, transparency, and verification raising both opportunities and challenges in adapting current legal norms. Purpose. This study aims to explore the legal implications of blockchain-based evidence, focusing on the reformulation of evidentiary and procedural standards in decentralized environments. Method. Using a qualitative juridical-normative method, this research analyzes comparative case studies, statutory instruments, and international best practices in blockchain jurisprudence. Results. The results demonstrate a significant gap in current legal structures regarding the recognition and standardization of digital ledger evidence. Key challenges include the absence of uniform protocols, jurisdictional discrepancies, and the epistemological shift required in legal reasoning. Conclusion. This study concludes that a comprehensive legal framework is imperative to ensure the legitimacy and enforceability of blockchain-generated evidence. Reformulating evidentiary norms aligned with decentralized principles is not only necessary but urgent to uphold justice in emerging digital ecosystems.
