Religion plays a pivotal role in the way women are treated around the world, socially and legally. This book discusses three Islamic human rights approaches: secular, non-compatible, reconciliatory (compatible), and proposes a contextual interpretive approach. It is argued that the current gender discriminatory statutory Islamic laws in Islamic jurisdictions, based on the decontextualised interpretation of the Koran, can be reformed through Ijtihad: independent individual reasoning. It is claimed that the original intention of the Koran was to protect the rights of women and raise their status in society, not to relegate them to subordination. This Koranic intention and spirit may be recaptured through the proposed contextual interpretation which in fact means using an Islamic (or insider) strategy to achieve gender equality in Muslim states and greater compatibility with international human rights law. It discusses the negative impact of the so-called statutory Islamic laws of Pakistan on the enjoyment of women’s human rights and robustly challenges their Koranic foundation. While supporting the international human rights regime, this book highlights the challenges to its universality: feminism and cultural relativism. To achieve universal application, genuine voices from different cultures and groups must be accommodated. It is argued that the women’s human rights regime does not cover all issues of concern to women and has a weak implementation mechanism. The book argues for effective implementation procedures to turn women’s human rights into reality.

Sovereign Attachments rethinks sovereignty by moving it out of the exclusive domain of geopolitics and legality and into cultural, religious, and gender studies. Through a close reading of a stunning array of cultural texts produced by the Pakistani state and the Pakistan-based Taliban, Shenila Khoja-Moolji theorizes sovereignty as an ongoing attachment that is negotiated in public culture. Both the state and the Taliban recruit publics into relationships of trust, protection, and fraternity by summoning models of Islamic masculinity, mobilizing kinship metaphors, and marshalling affect. In particular, masculinity and Muslimness emerge as salient performances through which sovereign attachments are harnessed. The book shifts the discussion of sovereignty away from questions about absolute dominance to ones about shared repertoires, entanglements, and co-constitution.

Driven to a significant extent by Pakistan’s rapidly growing status in trade and economic partnerships – in particular considering the country’s role in the China and Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – interest in Pakistan’s dispute settlement regime is on the rise. This ground-breaking book, by Pakistan’s best-known arbitrator, practitioner, and legal scholar, is the first in any language to provide in-depth coverage of all significant topics of Pakistani law on both domestic and foreign arbitration, ranging from drafting of the arbitration agreement to the enforcement of arbitral awards. With comprehensive coverage of Pakistani statutes and case law affecting arbitration and bilateral investment treaties (BITs), the author describes and analyses such issues and topics as the following: concepts of separability, arbitrability, and competence-competence; rules governing the conclusion, interpretation, and enforcement of arbitration agreements; grounds on which courts assume jurisdiction; legal issues pertaining to the stay of court proceedings in relation to both domestic and foreign arbitration; constitution of arbitral tribunals; interim measures; judicial review of both domestic and foreign arbitral awards; and available remedies of appeal and revision. Positioned to become the preeminent authority on the arbitration law of Pakistan, this book will be welcomed not only by Pakistani practitioners, arbitrators, judges, students, and academics as the first practical guide to arbitration practice and procedure in their country but also by foreign practitioners approaching Pakistani courts seeking interim measures and enforcement of arbitration agreements and arbitral awards. In addition, both domestic and foreign businessmen will discover clear paths to well-informed decisions on investment and commercial issues involving Pakistan.

Through a detailed historical and empirical account of post-independence years, this book offers a new assessment of the role of the judiciary in Pakistani politics. Instead of seeing the judiciary as helpless or struggling against an authoritarian state, it argues that the judiciary has been a crucial link in the creation of state and political inequality in Pakistan. This rubs against the central role given to the judiciary in developing countries to fix the ‘corrupt politicians and stubborn bureaucracies’ in the World Bank’s ‘Good Governance’ paradigm and rule of law initiatives. It also challenges the contemporary legal and judicial discourse that extols the virtues of Public Interest Litigation. While the book’s core analysis is a critique of the contemporary liberal legal project, it also adds to the critical tradition of social theory by linking political economy to a social theory of law. The theoretical aspect of the study is applicable to any developing society whose judiciary is going through foreign-sponsored ‘rule of law’ judicial reforms.
