Global Minority Rights van Joshua Castellino is een Engelstalig gedrukt boek. Deze titel is geschikt voor studenten in het hoger onderwijs.
This important volume brings together a range of material in different areas of law and the social sciences that address questions concerning the rights of minorities. The discipline is arguably one of the oldest branches of public international law, and owes its heritage to those who struggled to create standards to protect the numerically inferior and non-dominant communities from the excesses of the majority. While reflecting this rich heritage, the works contained in this volume show the extent to which policy constructs (especially in law) have begun to pay heed to the need to include minorities in different domestic settings across the globe. To provide readers with a structured approach to understanding global minority rights law the editor divides the issues into six main headings, namely: Historical Development; Conceptual Development; Contemporary Challenges; Fundamental Norms of Minority Protection; Specific Rights of Minorities; Human Rights and Minority Rights.
Inhoudelijk sluit dit boek aan bij onderwerpen als Human rights, civil rights, Public international law: human rights, POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights.
