This study analyses the logic followed by these actors who uses the expertise of Islamic Law specialists to establish a comparative approach between these two legal systems. In a second step, it explores if Comparative Law has managed to grasp the raison d'être of Islamic Law and its moral values on the one hand and its effectiveness today in the face of the challenges of modernity (e.g., militarism and humanitarianism) on the other. Finally, it will be interesting to discuss how moral values enshrined in Islamic Law and the legal reasoning proper to this discipline could contribute in renewing our reflection on war and peace in these challenging times.
As this study is still a work in progress, the talk will present the main empirical and theoretical arguments that led to the conception of this research project and the expected results.
