Human Rights and Religions – A Contradiction?
Lecture Series: Jewish and Islamic Perspectives on Human Rights (with Video Recording)
Human rights are regarded as a secular value system, which, rooted in the Christian tradition, claims universal validity. Jewish and Islamic traditions have also developed ethical standards over the centuries that their followers consider mandatory. Do these standards present conflicting priorities? Where do Judaism and Islam provide a link to contemporary human rights discourse or are they even incompatible?
