Abstract

This article examines the attention of civil societies towards the administration of justice in Arab-Muslim countries, highlighting the influence of international human rights principles on the judicial system. Courtrooms become political arenas, showcasing the challenges of judicial independence and the ambiguities of Western legal influence. While Arab reform trends reflect external pressures, civil resistance opposes authoritarian and Western rhetoric, promoting a vision of human rights as a tool for justice and hope for a democratic future in the region.
