    Milosevic and Hussein on Trial

    No full text
    In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author discusses the difficulties of trying Saddam in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague to argue that previous cases of genocide have resulted in the political strategy of exile or extermination. Four points that limit the possibilities for an ICJ trial are discussed, & the probable unjustness of the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) is related to the treatment of historical cases of Napoleon & Milosevic, & genocide criminals in the Rwanda & Nuremberg criminal trials. The author argues that the current position on genocide according to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia & Herzegovina (GFA) & the Dayton Accords, leaves the Milosevic & Hussein cases extremely unclear, & advocates handing Saddam over to the Iraqi police, & finds advantages in the probable chance that Milosevic may die before his trial ends.

    No full text
    This paper tries to explain the political thought of Thaha Hussein which has been considered pro and con because it seeks to juxtapose Western-style Islam and secularism in a country. Thaha Hussein\u27s secularization efforts touched on various aspects, including education, culture, religion, and politics.  Thaha Hussein in his political thought sought to release Muslims from their dependence on old opinions that were often considered part of religious teachings. In Thaha Hussein\u27s view religion and politics are two different things hence the regulation of the political system and the formation of the state are not based on syar\u27i but on the interests of society itself.  This study is library research. Meanwhile, the method used to process the data that has been collected by the author is the historical factual method.  This paper also uses a descriptive method where the author explains and outlines the journey and political irregularities of Thaha Hussein.  Thaha Hussein accepted and proposed a concept of secularization that was different from the idea of secularism that occurred in the West. Thaha Hussein points to secularization in the sense of being a process of detaching devotees from the bonds of tradition, including religious teachings that were the predecessors\u27 understanding of the zanni nash-nash, and ending with a return to the Koran and Hadith (meaning inseparable from both). Meanwhile, secularization that occurs in the West, is dotted with the separation of the world Abstrak: Tulisan ini mencoba memaparkan pemikiran politik Thaha Husein yang selama ini dianggap pro dan kontra karena berusaha menyandingkan Islamdan sekularisme ala Barat dalam suatu negara. Upaya sekularisasi Thaha Husein menyentuh berbagai aspek, diantaranya pendidikan, kebudayaan, agama dan Politik.. Thaha Husein dalam pemikiran politiknya berusaha melepaskan umat Islam dari ketergantungan mereka terhadap pendapat-pendapat lama yang sering dianggap sebagai bagian dari ajaran agama. Dalam pandangan Thaha Husein agama dan politik adalah dua hal yang berbeda karenanya pengaturan sistem politik dan pembentukan negara tidaklah berdasarkan syar’i tetapi berdasarkan kepentingan-kepentingan masyarakat itu sendiri. Kajian ini merupakan library research. Sedangkan metode yang digunakan untuk mengolah data yang telah dikumpulkan oleh penulis adalah dengan metode historical factual. Dalam tulisan ini juga menggunakan metode deskriptif dimana penulis menjelaskan dan menguraikan perjalanan dan pemikiran politik Thaha Husein. Thaha Husein menerima dan mengajukan konsep sekularisasi yang berbeda dengan ide sekularisme yang terjadi di Barat. Thaha Husein menunjuk sekularisasi dalam pengertian sebagai proses melepaskan umat dari ikatan tradisi, termasuk ajaran agama yang merupakan pemahaman para pendahulu terhadap nash-nash yang zhanni, dan berakhir dengan kembali kepada Alquran dan Hadits (artinya tidak terlepas dari keduanya). Sedangkan sekularisasi yang terjadi di Barat, bertitik-tolak dari pemisahan dunia termasuk politik dan ilmu dari agama
