- Human rights of women in the Islamic Republic of Iran and international law: a conceptual comparisonPublication . Abbasi, SalarThis article seeks to analyze the conceptual frameworks of the human rights of women outlined in international law with those delineated in the legal structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The article delves into the conceptual congruence or incongruence between these two diverse spectrums of jurisprudential agendas regarding the human rights of women. The comparison is composed of an analysis into the conservative protectionist and reformist dichotomy in shaping the principles based upon which the human rights of women in the I.R. of Iran is formulated, through a theoretical juxtaposition with the grounding theories that have shaped the human rights of women in international law. The Woman-Life-Freedom protests in Iran highlighted the urgent need to address ideological and systemic violations of women's human rights, and advocate for gender equality in the I. R. of Iran and worldwide. The article is a contribution to such a pressing inquiry.
- A revisit to Islamic inter-polity legal theoryPublication . Abbasi, SalarThis article delves into the jurisprudential and legal theory aspects of the religion of Islam in regard to inter-polity laws and relations. The conceptualisation of Islamic inter-polity commands and laws follows a bright line criterion, for it clearly defines non-Muslim polities and people, categorises them, and commands Islamic polity’s approach in regard to non-Muslims in unequivocal terms. The approach of this article is neither polemic nor protectionist; though it indeed is critical. To recognise veneration of an ideology is not tantamount to discrediting or hampering critical explorations about it, and Islam is not an exception. The concern of this article is to shed light on fundamental pillars upon which Islam’s inter-polity commands are formed and textually reinforced as being legally unquestionable and intrinsically legitimate. The discourses through which the Islamic inter-polity legal theory is scrutinised; in this piece, are the following: intrinsic legitimacy of the territorial and ideological expansionism of Islam, and Islam’s ‘group identity’ politics in its private and public laws under the notion of ‘Ummah’ or Islamic community.
