The Role of Divine Revelation and Religious Teachings in Human Rights System: Security and Global Peace
Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2009, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Peace and security have always been considered as one of man’s concerns. The basis of peace and security should be sought in the theoretical foundations. However, the drafters of universal human rights have struggled to attain peace and security away from religious principles. The present article intends to introduce universal human rights in the light of religious teachings and elaborate on the related religious principles. It also deals with the distinctions between the principles governing the present world with regard to human rights and religious principles to show that if religious principles are seriously followed in the international relations, they will bring about perpetual peace and security for mankind. Therefore, Religion has a unique role in peace and security. چکیده صلح و امنیت یکی از دغدغه‌های همیشگی بشر می‌باشد. زیربنای امنیت و آسایش را باید در مبانی فکری و ایده‌ای جست. طراحان حقوق بشر جهانی به دور از مبانی دینی به میدان رقابت وارد شده و در این جهت حرکت کرده‌اند. مقالۀ حاضر به طرح‌ریزی حقوق جهانی بشر در پرتو تعالیم ادیان همت گماشته و مبانی ادیان را در این خصوص به تصویر کشیده و تفاوت مبانی حاکم بر جهان فعلی در زمینۀ حقوق بشر را با مبانی دینی روشن نموده و مشخص گردیده است که چنانچه پایبندی به آن مبانی در روابط بین‌الملل مدّ نظر قرار گیرد؛ صلح و امنیت پایدار جهانی به ارمغان خواهد آمد و بر این اساس هویداست که دین در صلح و امنیت نقشی بی‌بدیل دارد.
