Karen
Engle. The elusive promise of indigenous development : rights, culture,
strategy. Duke University Press, 2010. K3247.E54
2010 Around the world, indigenous peoples use international law
to make claims for heritage, territory, and economic development. This
book traces the history of these claims, considering the prevalence of
particular legal frameworks and their costs and benefits for indigenous
groups. It
also highlights the dilemmas that accompany each legal strategy, as
well as the persistent elusiveness of economic development for indigenous
peoples. |

Helen
Keller, Magdalena Forowicz, Lorenz Engi. Friendly settlements before the
European Court of Human Rights : theory and practice. Oxford University
Press, 2010. KJC5138.K45
2010 This
book discusses the friendly settlement procedure, an important tool for the
reduction of the European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) case load,
and explains that recent practice demonstrates that this procedure is
increasingly resorted to by applicants and Contracting States. It also
evaluates this largely unexplored instrument from doctrinal as well as
practical perspectives, making recommendations to render the negotiations
before the ECtHR more efficient and professional. |
