Religious v. Human Rights Provisions in the Constitutions of the Arab World - Bernard-Maugiron, Nathalie; R. Abdelsalam, Mohamed (Sciences Po, Paris, 2019)
Islam, in different modes and degrees, has been given a privileged status in most constitutions of the Arab world. These religious provisions, however, co-exist alongside provisions drawn from the concept of Western constitutionalism and in particular with human rights provisions. This presentation will show how the outcomes of these contradictory or at least antithetical provisions will have to be determined by constitutional courts and councils who will try to conciliate them.
