Este artículo hace una revisión crítica sobre la tensión y la posible reconciliación entre el relativismo y la universalidad de los derechos humanos de las mujeres en el mundo árabo-islámico. A través del análisis comparativo de los instrumentos internacionales, tales como la Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra la Mujer (CEDAW), y los mecanismos regionales, tales como la Declaración de Derechos Humanos en el Islam y la Carta Árabe de Derechos Humanos, se destacan las brechas y los avances en la práctica de los derechos fundamentales de las mujeres en los veintidós Estados de la Liga Árabe. Como un ejemplo específico se debaten los cambios legislativos en materia de la transmisión de la nacionalidad por parte de las mujeres a sus hijos e hijas y a sus maridos extranjeros, conforme con la adaptación de la legislación nacional de los países árabo-islámicos a las exigencias de los tratados internacionales que garantizan la igualdad de género en el mundo.This article critically examines the tension and possible reconciliation of competing views of culture relativism and the universality of women's human rights in the Arab-Islamic world. A comparative analysis of international human rights instruments, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and regional human rights protection mechanisms, such as the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam and the Arab Charter on Human Rights, allow us to get insight into the complexity of the cultural and legal definition and practice of women’s rights within twenty-two States of the Arab Ligue. Particular attention is paid to the national law amendments with regard to transmission of nationality from women to their children and foreign spouses. This is in accordance with the adaptation of the national legislation of the Arab-Islamic countries to the demands of international treaties which guarantee gender equality across the world.
