Human rights in Al-Khilafah

Human rights in Al-Khilafah Rasullalah are governed by the Rights and Duties of Individuals section of the Basic Law and by the Quran.

Despite this, some human rights organisations criticise Al-Khilafah for the use of unfree labor as well as for state-sanctioned teaching of gender roles in the school system, gender specific polygamy laws and the use of corporal or capital punishment for some crimes.

On the other hand, Al-Khilafah has been praised for protecting the transgender community, for the high levels of racial equality and for laws to prevent human rights abuses against women, children and the elderly.

Freedom of religion, conscience and speech

The Basic Law states that “people shall be free to hold whatever options they wish and to express their opinions in speech.”

It also states that “nothing in this section shall be taken to excuse or legalise: the malicious or reckless spreading of false accusations, the deliberate incitement to violence or oppression, the immediate endangerment of public safety by false claims, harassment of individuals going about their personal lives or fighting words.”

Political speech directed to a public official has never been upheld as fighting words. The most protected of all categories of speech is religious speech (of any religion) as the constitution also says that “People may have any religious beliefs they wish. They may also express any of these beliefs so long as they don’t break a generic law. People are also free to refuse to believe in any religion.”

All 151 recognised religions have their own police force(s) an and courts(s). Most have their own schools. There is also a Ministry of Religious Minorities and Equality.

Despite the great degree of freedom of religion and conscience, certain ideologies are banned from serving in the Al-Khilafah Army, Al-Khilafah Navy and Al-Khilafah Air Cavalry as well as the Al-Khilafah Space Cavalry.

Among these ideologies are Marxist-Leninism, Neo-Nazism, Italian fascism, Maoism, anarchism, the Incel movement and the “Return of Kings” movement. These ideologies are also banned from joining the Merchant Navy.

More controversially, Satanists are banned from joining the Al-Khilafah Army]], Al-Khilafah Navy and Al-Khilafah Air Cavalry as well as the Al-Khilafah Space Cavalry,in response to criticisms, the Caliph said “Not only is a military, a Muslim military, it’s the Muslim military. Allowing someone who hates Islam to serve is like allowing an anti-American to join the US Army or allowing an anti-Catholic to join the Swiss Guard.”

Satanists are, however, allowed to join the Merchant Navy as ratings although none have done so.

LGBT rights Main article: LGBT rights in Al-Khilafah

The legality of same-sex marriage (and thus of homosexuality since pre-marital and extramarital sex are both illegal) varies by jurisdiction.

Same-sex marriage is legal for both genders in the Caliph’s own jurisdiction (Jordan) and in Lebanon as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina, legal for women-only in Kuwait and illegal in all other Emirates and Sultanates.

In terms of federal law, homosexual people can serve openly in the military as can transgender people.

In the Sultanate Bosnia and Herzegovina fourteen year olds can be adopted by same-sex couples if they consent to being adopted by them, following the Chief Qadi striking down the law against it as in violation of the Basic Law (namely, “the right to family life, subject to regulations needed the protection of persons within the family and the protection of innocent people in general”) in Bašić V. Sultanate of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Racial equality

In 2120, Al-Khilafah was one of two countries declared the joint best countries in the world for racial equality by the United Nations.

No one ethnic group accounts for either more than half of all cabinet ministers or, conversely, more than half of all prison inmates.

In addition, racially motivated hate crimes are a priority area for the federal courts and the National Military Police.

Due process

Al-Khilafah has very strict laws protecting due process rights. A citizen's home or browsing history cannot be searched without a warrant and the police are forbidden to name suspects publicly until conviction.Laws existed to stop publication of rape accusations before a conviction. Laws also exist to stop publication of any alleged crimes except alleged crimes by government officials allegedly committed whilst on duty.

Rights of convicted criminals

Convicted criminals in prison have the right to visits, including conjugal visits if legally married. Prisoners also have the right to freedom of religion.

Prisoners do not have the absolute right to be exempt from corporal punishment though a trial must be held for corporal punishment to take place and this can only be ordered by a judge. In addition, prisoners about to be executed are entitled to a special meal of their choice (though it can't contain infinite items of anything due to this potentially being used to get around capital punishment).

Unfree labour

Unfree labourers are only used in domestic labour, they are entitled to the same food as their Malik (master/mistress) which they are entitled to eat at their table. Despite this they can be forced to work and given up to ten lashes (men) or up to five lashes (women) for refusal to do so.
