Generally the main essence of the Maqasid alShariah (objectives of Islamic Law) is to avoid the evil and uphold the public interest. In the present Westphalia state system, it is inevitable for the Islamic countries to engage with the international treaty. However, there are several provisions in the international treaty, whether bilateral or multilateral which may not commensurate with the Maqasid al-Shariah. Malaysia as an Islamic country that is incline to uphold the principles of Shariah, may want to ensure that international treaty, will be observed and not contradicted with the principles of Maqasid al-Shariah. The paper attempts to examine the essence of Maqasid al-Shariah and it roles in international treaty.
