ABU DHABI // Greater awareness of the links between Shariah and international refugee law would go a long way towards combating “misperceptions” about Islam, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said yesterday.

António Guterres said key principles of international refugee law were already established in that of Islam.

Promoting a study on the comparison between the right to asylum in Islamic law and international refugee law, Mr Guterres said: “Not only is this clearly embodied in Islamic law but, to a certain extent, it codifies what already existed in the traditions of the tribes in the Arabian peninsula.

“I believe that it is very important that the world is aware of this.”

The study, commissioned by the UNHCR, was a “useful instrument of advocacy” for the protection of refugees across the world, Mr Guterres said.

“At a moment when so many try to spread misperceptions, this allows to show the true face of a compassionate and human rights-minded Islam,” he said.

During Mr Guterres’s visit, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, President of the UAE, was awarded the plaque of the UNHCR in recognition of his role supporting humanitarian work and the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation’s work in helping about 200,000 families in Pakistan, according to WAM, the state news agency.
