This book examines the legal conundrum of reconciling international
human rights law in a Muslim majority country and identifies a
trajectory for negotiating the protection of religious minorities
within Islam. The work explores the history of religious minorities
within Islam in Indonesia, which contains the world's largest
Muslim population, as well as the present-day ways by which the
government may address issues through reconciling international
human rights law and Islamic law. Given the context of multiple
sets of religious norms in Indonesia, this is a complicated
endeavour. In addition to amending and enacting human rights norms,
the government is also negotiating with the long history of
Islamisation in Indonesia. Particularly relevant is the practice of
customary law, which puts the rights of community over
individualism. This practice directly affects the rights of
religious minorities within Islam. Readers, especially those
conducting research, will also be provided with information and
references which are relevant to the field of human rights,
especially in relation to religious minorities and international
law. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and
researchers in the fields of International Human Rights Law, Law
and Religion, and Islamic Studies.
This book analyses marginalisation and human rights in Southeast
Asia and offers diverse approaches in understanding the nuances of
marginalisation and human rights in the region. Throughout the
region, a whole range of similarities and differences can be
observed relating to the Southeast Asian experience of human rights
violation, with each country maintaining particular aspects
reflecting the variability of the use and abuse of political power.
This book explores the distinct links between marginalisation and
human rights for groups exposed to discrimination. It focuses on
ethnic minorities, children, indigenous peoples, migrant workers,
refugees, academics, and people with disabilities. This book
highlights the disparities in attainment and opportunity of
marginalised and minority groups in Southeast Asia to their rights.
It examines how marginalisation is experienced, with case studies
ranging from a regional approach to country context. Paying
attention to how broader socio-economic and political structures
affect different people's access to, or denial of, their
fundamental human rights and freedoms, the book argues that
tackling human rights abuses remains a major hurdle for the
countries in Southeast Asia. Providing a broader conceptual
framework on marginalisation and human rights in Southeast Asia and
a new assessment of these issues, this book will be of interest to
readers in the fields of Asian Law, Human Rights in Asia, and
Southeast Asian Studies, in particular Southeast Asian Politics.
