Goal of Human Rights in Context
Human Rights in Context (HUQUQ.com) was established by Professor Ahmed E. Souaiaia as a Companion Digital Platform to his monograph Muslims and the Western Conception of Rights. Conceived as a scholarly resource and research hub, HUQUQ provides a structured environment for examining the historical trajectories and contemporary manifestations of human rights discourse.
The platform’s primary objective is to provide contextual grounding for human rights—tracing their development over time and across civilizations—while curating a comprehensive repository of historical and contemporary documents, research publications, pedagogical resources, and mentoring materials. It further facilitates the comparative analysis of diverse rights traditions and encourages engagement with both established and emerging perspectives.
Guided by the Systems Thinking Framework (STF), HUQUQ employs a holistic and integrative methodology to analyze one of humanity’s most persistent dilemmas: the abuse and protection of rights. This framework allows for the exploration of the interdependence between ideas, institutions, and power structures that shape human rights outcomes.
Since its inception, the project has benefited from the collaborative efforts of research assistants, editors, and subject-matter experts who contribute to its intellectual vitality. While core research teams are situated within the Director’s academic institutions, independent scholars and external collaborators are invited to participate in ongoing research, teaching, and mentoring initiatives that advance the understanding of human rights in context.
