| Summary: | This paper analyzes contemporary political arguments and examines ethical values applied by Islamic leaders in connection with the debate over the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. Ethical arguments with roots deep in the history of Islam have played an important role in shaping discussion about the moral status of chemical weapons, the equity of the treaty, and the relationship of both to justified defense of the community. The author closes by considering broader implications for the relationship beween cultural values and international politics today. |
