Bharat
H. Desai. Multilateral environmental agreements : legal status of the
secretariats. Cambridge University Press, 2010. K3585.D479
2010 This
book examines the genesis, development, and proliferation of
multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), their ad hoc treaty-based
status, and the issue of the legal personality of their secretariats.
It also offers an account of the growing phenomenon in which an existing
international institution provides a servicing base for an MEA that, in turn,
triggers a chain of legal implications involving the secretariat, the host
institution, and the host country. |

Laughlin
McDonald. American Indians and the fight for equal voting rights.
University of Oklahoma Press, c2010. KF8210.S84M34
2010 This book explores the American Indian fight for equal voting rights and documents how non-Indian officials have tried to maintain dominance over Native peoples despite the rights they are guaranteed as American citizens. It examines litigation involving discriminatory election practices such as at-large elections, redistricting plans crafted to dilute voting strength, unfounded allegations of election fraud on reservations, burdensome identification and registration requirements, lack of language assistance, and noncompliance with the Voting Rights Act. |
