Tehran, YJC. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli says differences in Islamic and non-Islamic rights come from differing conceptions of justice.
We say that justice means where things have to stand, where
people stand. We believe that the place of things has to be defined by their
creator. People’s place has to be defined by their creator, but they say they
define the place of things by themselves, said Amoli on Wednesday.
"The rights that they talk about in today’s world, be it in
the UN or other legal organizations, lack any scientific justification, because
legal notions rely on an array of notions the key to which is justice which
relies on a source,” he stated.
He said that Islamic and non-Islamic interpretations of
human rights stem from their differing views of justice and said that in the Islamic
world view, justice means that everything has to exist in its proper place,
which is defined by the Creator.
