Cairo Declaration

The Cairo Declaration, adopted in 1990 by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), outlines the principles of human rights from an Islamic perspective. It emphasizes that human rights should align with Islamic law (Sharia) and prioritizes community welfare, dignity, and justice. The declaration highlights the importance of respecting cultural values and the rights of individuals while asserting that rights should not conflict with Islamic teachings. Essentially, it seeks to promote human rights within the framework of Islamic principles, asserting the belief that all rights should support the moral and ethical standards of Islam.
