Andrew E, The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples : A New Interpretative
Approach (Oxford University Press 2021)
The adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by the United Nations General
Assembly on 13 September 2007 was acclaimed as a major success for the United Nations system
given the extent to which it consolidates and develops the international corpus of indigenous rights.
This is the first in-depth academic analysis of this far-reaching instrument. Indigenous representatives
have argued that the rights contained in the Declaration, and the processes by which it was formulated,
obligate affected States to accept the validity of its provisions and its interpretation of contes.

Aristova, E. Civil Remedies and Human Rights in Flux : Key Legal Developments in Selected
Jurisdictions (Hart 2022)
What private law avenues are open to victims of human rights violations? This innovative new col-
lection explores this question across sixteen jurisdictions in the Global South and Global North. It
examines existing mechanisms in domestic law for bringing civil claims in relation to the involve-
ment of states, corporations and individuals in specific categories of human rights violation: (i)
assault or unlawful arrest and detention of persons; (ii) environmental harm; and (iii) harmful or
unfair labour conditions. Taking a truly global perspective, it assesses the question in jurisdictions
as diverse as Kenya, Switzerland, the US and the Philippines. A much needed and important new
statement on how to respond to human rights violations.
