Abstract

The atrocities of Israel's aggression perpetrated from 07 October 2023 on the civilian population and the treatment of prisoners of war shocked the world. Western governments have encouraged Israel to continue its tyranny. Many other governments around the world preferred to remain silent despite the presence of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This has led to a re-launch of the debate on the credibility of IHL and the positioning of International Islamic Humanitarian Law (IIHL) on the world stage. The aim of this study is therefore to compare IHL and IIHL, from a theoretical and practical point of view, in the field of the protection of civilians during war and the treatment of prisoners of war. To do this, we opted for a comparative approach between these two components, both conceptually and functionally. This approach focused, on the one hand, on the main sources of the Sharia, the Quran and the Sunnah, as well as on the opinions of Muslim scholars (ulamas), supported by concrete examples of the application of Islamic norms by the Prophet and the Rashidoun caliphs. On the other hand, it also examined all the conventions, treaties and other documents that constitute the sources of the IHL. From a theoretical point of view, the results showed that there are many similarities between the two laws. In practical terms, however, the IIHL stands out for its concrete form and effective application. These observations led us to recommend that the current world order be rethought in view of the juxtaposition of the IIHL and IHL rules.

Abstract

Using data from the 2014 General Census of Population and Housing in Morocco as an example, this paper aims to examine the socio-demographic barriers that hinder the education and literacy of children with special needs (CWSN) in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). A combined descriptive analysis and mixed effects logistic regression was used to analyse these data. Comparative findings from international studies on this topic on CWSN in LMICs were also used. The above data provide information on the demographic, socio-economic, cultural and environmental characteristics of a representative sample of 10% of the Moroccan population and households. Both individual and contextual information on people with special needs was collected, including educational status, literacy and socio-demographic characteristics. The rate of school exclusion for CWSN is significantly higher at 0.485 compared to 0.146 for children without special needs. In addition, 34% of CWSN aged 10-17 are not literate. The likelihood of enrolment and literacy for these children is influenced by several socio-demographic factors. Moroccan CWSN have limited access to opportunities for cognitive well-being. It is therefore crucial that policymakers prioritise the cognitive well-being of these children, which is a fundamental right rather than a privilege.

Abstract

Research Problem: The rights and responsibilities of women in Islam have often been misunderstood, particularly in the international context. Predominant narratives from Western societies frequently depict Muslim women as oppressed and lacking gender equality. This study investigates a fundamental question: has Islamic teaching contributed to the social welfare of Muslim women by granting them equitable rights and responsibilities? Research Purposes: This research aims to evaluate how Islamic teachings have influenced the social and economic well-being of Muslim women, emphasizing their rights and responsibilities. It also explores the role of religion-based policies in promoting social justice for Muslim women. Research Methods: An exploratory, inductive, and analytical approach was employed to examine Islamic teachings using primary sources, including the Qur'an and Sunnah, alongside case studies of policies and social practices affecting Muslim women’s rights. A life-cycle approach was adopted to provide a holistic view of women’s status at various stages of their lives. Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that Islam has granted significant rights and freedoms to Muslim women, such as access to education, employment, and legal protection—rights they did not enjoy prior to the revelation of the Qur'an. However, the implementation of these rights in policy and practice continues to face challenges, including social stigma and varying interpretations of religious laws. Islamic principles emphasizing social justice have demonstrably contributed to the improved welfare of Muslim women in public policy contexts. Research Implications and Contributions: This study contributes to academic discourse by exploring the intersection of religious teachings and social justice. It opens avenues for further research into how religion-based policies can be adapted to support women’s rights. These findings are particularly relevant for policymakers, activists, and scholars working on gender equality and social justice in religious contexts.
