The Relationship Between Sharia and the International Human Rights Law

The Moynihan Institute’s Middle Eastern Studies Program is proud to host Dr. Seyed Masoud Noori for a virtual lecture. 

Dr. Noori will give an overview of the position of Sharia in the pre-modern period in Muslim societies, as well as relevant developments and changes in the situation after the formation of the nation-states and customary legislation in the Islamic world. In particular, he will examine the relationship between Sharia and human rights in the constitutions of Muslim-majority countries.
