Book Description

A key support for FCTC 2030 project countries is the development of a WHO FCTC investment case. These investment cases analyze the health and economic costs of tobacco use as well as the potential economic benefits that can come from implementing key WHO FCTC measures. Focusing on the economic rationale for tobacco control, the WHO FCTC investment cases provide policymakers and other stakeholders with country-level evidence to inform tobacco control policy-making. The investment case for the Islamic Republic of Iran was prepared under the FCTC 2030 project in close collaboration with governments of FCTC 2030 project countries, the Convention Secretariat, UNDP and WHO.

Book Description

This book examines the intersection between contemporary International Commercial Arbitration and Shariʿa law in order to determine possible tensions that may arise between the two systems. It develops evidentiary and procedural rules under Shariʿa, as well as examining the consequences of stipulating qualifications of arbitrators based on gender and/or religion. The author extensively analyses the prohibition against interest (riba) and uncertainty (gharar) under Shariʿa and its impact on arbitration agreements, arbitral awards and public policy. The book also explores the prohibition against riba in light of international conventions, such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Case studies in the book include the Asian International Arbitration Centre, formerly the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration, and the International Islamic Centre for Reconciliation and Arbitration, as well as the ‘Shari’a Standards’ developed by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, students and practitioners working in the areas of Islamic law and the Islamic finance industry.
