Asylum in the Islamic heritage and the system of international law

Section: Political Books

Number of pages: 304 pages

The book raises many questions about Islam's view of the refugee issue, especially since many refugees come from Islamic countries. It discusses the laws related to refugees, and the Islamic principles related to asylum, and compares this with the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention, and reviews the laws that address asylum in some Arab countries and the extent to which they are compatible or different from Islamic law and international law.
