The global legal order today exists in a state of turmoil. It has proven incapable of
effectively addressing the social problems ailing humanity and securing justice for
everyone. This disruption afflicts both national legal systems and the international
legal order as a whole.
According to the Bahá'í teachings, the legal order of the world can only
be rescued if it is transformed to reflect divinely-revealed principles, particularly
those teachings of global unity and oneness brought by the Revelation of
Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), the Prophet and Founder of the Bahá'í Faith.
This book investigates how that transformation can be brought about in various
domains of law by reviewing the key features and history of the current global
legal order and the many existing deficiencies of that order, weighing current
debates on how to address them, and determining the potential for implementing
reforms based on Bahá'í principles.
