مشروعية استعمال القوة في العلاقات الدولية: دراسة مقارنة بين القانون الدولي والشريعة الإسلامية

Abstract

The legality of using power in international relations is one of the most controversial issues throughout history. The determinants of the legality of using power vary according to religions, cultures, and contest. In modern times, the international system finally agreed to create clear standards for the legality of using power. Therefore, this legality is applicable or not whenever these standards are available or not. In comparison with the stability of international law to this legality, we find that Islamic jurisprudence is still debating it. Undoubtedly, there is a significant and clear difference between the past and modern views of Islamic jurisprudence. In this research paper, the use and application of power in international law have been addressed in an attempt to answer the question of legality. Then the legal approach was compared to the texts of Islamic law. The research paper begins with the subject of power in law and Islamic texts. Then it moves to a discussion of the legality of using power from the perspective of law and the opinions of Islamic texts on this legality. The research paper also attempts to analyze Islamic attitudes towards the use of power and the justifications of this use through the study of Islamic texts.
