Maldives Law Class Drafts Code Balancing Reform and Islam
Fifty students in Maldives work with officials to draft a criminal and civil code aligned with human rights norms. Critics like Daniel Pipes oppose using Shariah as state law, while advocates argue Maldivian practice differs from Saudi or Taliban models and aims for reform. The final draft may reach parliament by November amid regional political tensions.
