Having articulated numerous human rights norms and standards in
international treaties, the pressing challenge today is their
realisation in States' parties around the world. Domestic
implementation has proven a difficult task for national authorities
as well as international supervisory bodies. This book examines the
traditional State-centric and legalistic approach to
implementation, critiquing its limited efficacy in practice and
failure to connect with local cultures. The book therefore explores
the permissibility of other measures of implementation, and
advocates more culturally sensitive approaches involving social
institutions. Through an interdisciplinary case study of Islam in
Indonesia, the book demonstrates the power of social institutions
like religion to promote rights compliant positions and behaviours.
Like the preamble of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, the book reiterates the role not just of the State but
indeed 'every organ of society' in realising rights.
