To achieve the objective of this paper, legal socio-legal research was adopted using the qualitative approach to analyse relevant Islamic law and Palestinian legislative texts. The study concluded that the administration and structure of the judiciary in Islamic law differs from Palestinian legislation in terms of the extent of application of the principle of the independence of the judiciary.

Constitutional Constraints

This article deals with the Islamic law and human rights principles which constitute the two important elements of the Malaysian legal system. Human rights, despite being a basic tenet of Islam, have frequently and widely been misunderstood by many Muslims. Indeed, the protection of human rights is consistent with the very objective of the coming of Islam i.e. as a mercy to the whole universe and for safeguarding the sacred values of humanity. As such, it is not an exaggeration to consider that Islam is a strong proponent of human rights and violations of human rights may be tantamount to disregarding Islamic principles. Nevertheless, due to constitutional constraints, the protection of human rights in Malaysian law may not necessarily be based on Islamic law. This is because the Federal Constitution of Malaysia limits the jurisdictions of Islamic law to selected matters such as matrimonial issues and other limited criminal jurisdictions. Despite Article 3 of the Constitution that clearly names Islam as the religion of the Federation, this provision, does not provide for the full application of Islamic law in Malaysia. Thus, the protection of human rights in Malaysia is selectively covered based on Islamic law, whereas the major scope of protections is covered by Federal-based civil law, in accordance with the specification of jurisdiction vested by the Constitution.

AbstractIn this article, the author discusses the problem of ensuring equality and non-discrimination in a legal system. Equality and non-discrimination constitute universally recognized standards in the protection of human rights. At the same time, one can hardly assert that the universal community has put an end to discrimination. The author considers the problem as applied to the Russian legal system. The standard is incorporated in the Russian Constitution still remains topical in Russia. Based on his analysis of legislation and judicial practice, the author concludes that the problem reveals itself on the levels of both law-making and law application, the latter including administration of justice. As one of the conclusion, the author raises a question: is legal discrimination inherent in a legal system like other negative phenomena, such as delinquency, incoherencies, lacunas, defects, conflicts of legal norms and breaches of law-making procedural rules?

This paper aims to examine the protection of the environment in Indonesia which is part of the realization of a law state that guarantees the constitutional rights of its citizens. It is a legal research that reviews Indonesian constitutional and statutory provisions, besides adding a comparative perspective from a Japanese Constitution and legal system. It is found that the concept of a law state in Indonesia does not specifically follow the concept of a law state like what is meant in “rechtsstaat” or “the rule of law”. It has peculiar characteristics which indeed seem to adopt the noble values ??of those two concepts which clearly confesses in the constitution along with the elements and characters stated in it. One of the most prominent characteristics of a law state is the recognition and protection of human rights. In the Indonesian Constitution 1945, human rights as the fundamental rights of human beings have been arranged and compiled which is legally legitimized become constitutional rights. Among human rights, rights related to the environment include essential rights in array of international human rights formulations. Article 28 letter H of the Indonesian Constitution 1945 expressly states the rights to habitable and wholesome environment for citizen. The protection form can be a normative arrangement in the constitution or in a formal juridical through legislation. Protection of citizens' constitutional rights related to the environment is faced with due process of environmental protection that requires consistency in order to achieve the intention and direction of the Indonesian law state itself.

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the legal system of Muslim countries. The author analyzes the essence of the concept of human rights and freedoms in Muslim law, as well as comparative characteristics with the Western legal system. The general principles of law in the Muslim system, due to the peculiarities of its historical formation, establish the criteria of conformity of positive law to the values of a particular society, limiting the action of a law to generally accepted moral criteria. It is noted that certain aspects of Sharia have different meanings for followers of Islam and those who do not adhere to this faith. In a ratio religious and secular rules of conduct operate differently. The author points out that in the theory of Muslim law, all people are equal regardless of their social background, skin color or language. It also speaks of the equality of all before the law and the court, but in practice a completely different situation arises. The article analyzes the disrespect for women's rights and the fact that women are essentially unprotected in Islam. It is noted that human rights, which should be universal in nature, were neglected by delegates to the 1993 UN Human Rights Conference in Vienna. In view of this, Islamic society is faced with the question: either Islam and Sharia, or democracy and human rights. At the same time, no explanation was given as to why one should be chosen over the other. The author proposes to gradually incorporate Muslim law into the law of Western countries, but only with respect for the national and cultural peculiarities of the East. It also highlights the importance of developing categories of human rights in the Muslim legal system, taking into account the standards of the Western concept of human rights and conducting a detailed study of Islamic law, rather than simply adding Western notions of natural human rights to Muslim law.

The essence of human rights is to protect and ensure the glory and dignity of people. So it becomes important human rights principles stipulated in the legislation in order to guarantee the state of human rights can be implemented optimally. However, there are some parties who deliberately rammed by the Islamic Human Rights as a product of the Liberals are opposed to the  Sharia. In fact, both Islam and human rights, aimed at ensuring the glory and dignity of man as the principles “maqhasidu al-syari’ah” are the main objectives the implementation of Islamic law. This paper aims to prove that human rights are not contrary to Islam because it has been expressly stipulated that one-on-one purpose in religion is upholding human dignity. This paper uses legal research methods that reveal the fact that Islam protects personal rights of his people so that the necessary regulatory and enforcement of human rights in the Indonesia. Tulisan ini terfokus mengkaji pemikiran Ibnu âsyûr tentang maqâṣid al-syarî’ah. Sebagai pemikir islam kontemporer ibnu âsyûr berupaya merumuskan maqâṣid al-syarî’ah menjadi disiplin ilmu yang mandiri dan pertimbangan utama dalam pegistinbathan hukum islam.Konsep independensi maqâṣid al-syarî’ah sebelumnya memang sudah digagas oleh al-syâthibî, namun Ibnu ‘âsyûr memperkokoh dan mempertegas kembali urgensi maqâṣid al-syarî’ah sebagai suatu disiplin ilmu.Menurutnya, ada empat unsur yang paling mendasar dalam pondasi bangunan maqâṣid al-syarî’ah, yaitu al-fithrah, al-musâwah, al-samâhah dan al-hurriyah.Keempat unsur ini mesti mendapat perhatian dan pertimbangan dalam proses pergumulan teks dan konteks realitas kekinian untuk melahirkan diktum-diktum hukum yang berkemashlahatan. Bagi ibnu ‘âsyûr, secara umum berdasarkan pengkajian atas dalil-dalil al-qur’an dan kasus-kasus parsial menunjukkanbahwa tujuan pensyari’atan hukum islam adalah memelihara sistem/tatanan kehidupan umat manusia dan kelestarian kemashlahatan itu dengan cara menjaga kemashlahatan manusia itu sendiri yang meliputi mashlahah akal, perbuatan dan alam dimana ia hidup. Dengan demikian maka bisa dikatakan kaidah umum dalam syari’at islam adalah untuk mewujudkanmashlahah dan menolak mafsadah.

This study aims to examine the reality of the practice of customary divorce in Tawun hamlet, Lombok. As well as explaining the forms of customary divorce of the Tawun Hamlet community, in terms of sociological law. This research is a type of field research using a qualitative approach. Primary data and secondary data were collected by means of observation, direct interviews and documentation. To study further, the author uses the theory of the legal system from three elements, namely legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. The results showed that the occurrence of customary divorce in Tawun Hamlet is a common thing and is not legally disputed by the court. Government officials from elements of village heads, hamlet heads and marriage registrar officers who contribute to customary divorce who participate in administering administrative services, clearly contradict the laws and regulations regarding marriage itself. In addition, people's understanding of divorce continues to be dominated by classical Islamic law and is textual, patriarchal, making the position of women not seen as important because divorce is understood only as a male right.
