Adjudicating International Human Rights / James A. Green and Christopher P. M. Waters. - Brill,
2015. ISBN: 90-04-26117-6
Adjudicating International Human Rights honours Professor Sandy Ghandhi on his retirement
from law teaching. It does so through a series of targeted essays which probe the framework and
adequacy of international human rights adjudication. Eminent international law scholars (such as
Sir Nigel Rodley, Professor Javaid Rehman and Professor Malcolm Evans), along with emerging
writers in the field, take Professor Ghandhi’s body of work—focussed on human rights protection
through legal institutions—as a sta rting point for a variety of analytica l essays. Adjudicating
International Human Rights includes chapters devoted to human rights protection in a number
of different institutional contexts, ranging from the ICJ and the Human Rights Committee to truth
commissions and NAFTA arbitration tribunals.

The Civic Citizens of Europe / Moritz Jesse. - Brill, 2017. ISBN: 90-04-25226-6
In The Civic Citizens of Europe: The Legal Potential for Immigrant Integration in the EU,
Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Moritz Jesse analyses the legal framework within
which inclusion of immigrants into the receiving societies can take place. The inclusion of immi-
grants cannot be enforced by law. Howeve r, legislation must provide the room within whi ch
integration can take place legally. By studying residence titles, procedures, rights to family migra-
tion, permanent residence, and integration measures in a comparative and critical way, Jesse wants
to discover whether the legal potential for integration in the EU and the three Member States is
sufficient for the inclusion of immigrants.

ECHR and Human Rights Theory / Alain Zysset. -Taylorand Francis, 2017. - ISBN: 1-138-64103-0
The European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) has been relatively neglected in the field of
normative human rights theory. This book aims to bridge the gap between human rights theory and
the practice of the ECHR. In order to do so, it tests the two overarching approaches in human rights
theory literature: the ethical and the political, against the practice of the ECHR ‘system’. The book
also addresses the history of the ECHR and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) as an
international legal and political institution.
