Implementation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights Based on Islamic Teachings Focusing on Observation of Citizenship Rights

Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been adopted by International Community in order to protect human fundamental and basic rights. Though almost the majority of Islamic countries have accepted this declaration, certain criticisms and objections have been raised as regards some of its articles by these countries and a number of efforts have been made in order revise and reform the challenging and disputable articles. This led to the adoption of Islamic Declaration of Human Rights in Cairo according to which the secular fundamental rights stipulated in Universal Declaration of Human Rights were islamicized. The current essay is an effort for assessment of the numerous efforts that have been made for implementation of Islamic rules in the form of rules and regulations of Islamic Republic of Iran and also among Islamic countries.
