Paperback. Condition: New. The right to land plays a key role in the realisation of a plethora of human rights, including the right to food, water, housing, employment, a clean and healthy environment, an adequate standard of living, social status and the power to make decisions. Property rights over land can take many forms, from mere access rights to ownership. Due to a growing world population and various global crises and developments such as agrarian reform, land is becoming scarce. The result is that land prices increase and the poorest sectors of society are deprived of access to land whilst State authorities and foreign investors practise land grabbing to make way for palm oil, animal feed and biofuel plantations, tourist resorts, or as speculative investment. In addition, arable land is not only claimed for residential purposes, but also by industries that in turn pollute the soil and water. Many groups in society, especially in developing States, need access to land for their subsistence. It is these smallholders, landless farmers, rural youths, indigenous peoples and women who often suffer the worst consequences of land reform schemes and land grabbing practices. They are not well protected by the existing forms of land tenure and State authorities often fail to live up to their human rights obligations to respect and protect the land rights of people in all sectors of their society.Legal Aspects of Land Rights is the result of the cooperation of scholars from five Indonesian faculties of law, the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights, and the Maastricht European Transnational Research Institute (METRO), together known as the Land Rights Consortium.…

Condition: very good. Schoten : Intersentia, 2007. Paperback. xvi,406 pp. (School of Human Rights Research, 23). - The purpose of this study is to examine how, and to what extent gender may have a negative impact on the realization of women's right to adequate housing and to discuss ways and means to level this barrier. The right to housing is approached in a holistic manner, and the indivisibility, interdependence, and interrelatedness of all human rights is stressed. In the first part (Chapter II) an inventory is made of the development of international rules and regulations pertaining to the right to adequate housing since the Second World War. The contents, justiciability, and corollary State obligations are discussed. The focus is on housing as a human right in the framework of the United Nations. The second part (Chapter III) discusses all kinds of factors that directly or indirectly affect the fulfilment of women's housing rights. First, the causes of homelessness and inadequate housing are under scrutiny. Next, private law issues such as property rights, legal capacity of women, equality as regards marriage, and the law of inheritance are reviewed. Furthermore, human rights issues like political participation, the right to land, security of tenure, the right to employment, and the right to privacy are discussed. The last part of this chapter is dedicated to structural discrimination inherent in cultural patterns. The third part (Chapter IV) goes into the adequacy of existing norms and procedures for women's housing rights. First, the adequacy of the international law system is analysed as well as the principles of equality and non-discrimination. Next, the specific international housing norms are applied to women's situations and conclusions are drawn as to their adequacy. Other subjects that are studied are legal ways and means to influence culture and gender stereotyping, and State responsibility for violations of women's housing rights. The last part of the study is devoted to monitoring and analysis. The mandates and tools at the disposal of relevant UN treaty and Charter-based bodies are examined, and suggestions and recommendations are made for improving their standard-setting and monitoring work.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book explores how various strategies have been developed over time to address different human rights objectives. It provides a critical examination of the benefits and drawbacks of different human rights strategies, and explores the cultural dimension; considering how particular strategies may be viewed and deployed differently in contemporary human rights practice.An international team of expert legal scholars focus on three key human rights strategies: naming and shaming, strategic litigation and information politics. By analysing these strategies, they explain their respective advantages, pitfalls and idiosyncrasies. Chapters highlight that whilst these strategies may aid in furthering human rights law and protecting individuals from human rights violations, any strategy may have the potential for unintended negative consequences; sometimes at the expense of certain rights or certain individuals. Ultimately, the book highlights that strategies should not overshadow the essence of human rights, but are simply a means of communicating a message.Human Rights Strategies is a fundamental resource for legal scholars and students with a particular interest in human rights and public international law. Legal practitioners, policymakers and NGOs in the human rights sphere will also find this to be a useful reference point.…
