Abstract

This study deeply investigates the overlap between Islamic and international legal frameworks concerning treaties, using a comparative approach to analyse where they converge and diverge. It strongly advocates for integrating Islamic legal principles into existing international treaty conventions, acknowledging the adaptable nature of Islamic law as a valuable asset for enhancing contemporary international treaty governance. Its recommendations focus on creating a complementary framework that merges Islamic jurisprudence with established international legal norms governing treaties. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of fostering dialogue among legal scholars, policymakers, and international bodies to establish universally applicable principles capable of accommodating diverse legal systems. This underscores the significance of incorporating Islamic legal principles to promote a more inclusive and comprehensive global governance system. Ultimately, the study aims to bridge the gap between Islamic and international legal perspectives by recognizing the potential synergy in combining these frameworks. By promoting dialogue and proposing integrated approaches, it seeks to contribute to a more harmonious and inclusive global legal landscape.
