Answer: The Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI) is a declaration of the member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) first adopted in Cairo, Egypt, on 5 August 1990,[1] (Conference of Foreign Ministers, 9–14 Muharram 1411H in the Islamic calendar[2]), and later revised in 2020[3] and adopted on 28 November 2020 (Council of Foreign Ministers at its 47th session in Niamey, Republic of Niger).[4] It provides an overview on the Islamic perspective on human rights. The 1990 version affirms Islamic sharia as its sole source, whereas the 2020 version doesn't specifically invoke the sharia. The focus of this article is the 1990 version of the CDHRI.
