Abstract : International law has developed from its pre-20th century consent-based framework to a less sovereignty-based ‘international law-making’ trend. This development, however, still reproduces its pre-20th century colonialistic features against non-European (including Islamic) legal thoughts, pushing them beyond the peripheries of relevance. Recently, countering that, stronger voices demand international law to include generally non-European and specifically Islamic international law scholarship. However, while having a very rich body of classical scholarship, contemporary literature of fiqh al-siyar (Islamic international law) suffers from lethargy. It neither mentions nor responds to the trend of international law-making. This article endeavours to fill in the gap of that lethargy so fiqh al-siyar could develop to properly respond to the current trend of international law-making. It is found that fiqh al-siyar must critically adopt and respond to the features of international law-making, and also all actors must utilize all channels to participate in its process.
