Islamic Law and International Law

Islamic Law and International Law provides a comprehensive comparison of the Islamic legal tradition and international law, especially in the context of dispute settlement.

Do states of the Islamic milieu avoid international courts?

How do they view mediation and arbitration?

Is Islamic legal tradition incompatible with international law?

The answer to the Islamic law-international law nexus puzzle lies in the diversity of how secular and religious laws fuse in domestic legal systems across the Islamic milieu.

States are not Islamic to the same degree or in the same way.

Consequently, different international conflict management methods appeal to different states.
