Abstract

This study presents a critical analysis on the charter of human rights of United Nations, as it was design to promote peace and justice in the world but unfortunately it was not come in true. So the concepts and impacts of human rights presented by UN will be examine in the light of Seerah, and to find out the reasons which caused its failure. It is historical observation that fundamental human rights are very essential for justice and peace in the world. All the peoples have equal rights in all respects. No one is allowed to disregard the rights of others on the basis of race, color and religion. Holy Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) founded the state of Yathrab and first time in the history declared the fundamental rights of human and vanished the differences based on race, color and gender. Rights for slaves, war prisoners and women were not only defined but were implemented by legal procedure in very short time. In 1948 United Nation declared a charter for human rights which proclaimed that inherent dignity and equal rights are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace of the world. This charter consist on 30 articles regarding individual and common rights of human. This charter of UN guaranteed the security of all fundamental rights of all human being. Although there are number of articles which caused uneasiness among the people of different religions such as article No. 19. Freedom of opinion and express must be observed but it should must be keep in mind that some irresponsible elements of different societies are using this for their criminal purposes as cartoon contest on Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) by Geert wilders of Holland in recent days caused huge disturbance for world peace. Whereas, the Prophet of Islām ordered the Muslim to respect the clergy of other religions even He (PBUH) halted the Muslims to abuse the idols.

Summary

To be imprisoned

If war criminals were decided to imprison, there were two ways to put them in prison, or to be enslaved to different families. UN agencies and international lobbies make it clear that physical violence, mental torture and humiliating behavior will not be done to anyone This is acceptable to us for the extent of behavior, but it is a part of Islāmic teachings and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) has directed it with a very clear explanation, but the sentence has been added to this by saying "or will not be punished" Which means that any punishment given in any crime should not be include physical violence, mental torture and humiliating, and in which punishment it is found to be one of them, the it will be consider the violation of human rights. The world recognizes that in the era of the Islāmic rule of the Ṭalibān in Afghanistan, the crime was completely eliminated, due to the fact that the Ṭalibān in Islāmic government Afghanistan used to implement the penalties of Islām, as a result crime rate was reduce to zero percent
