A Compilation of International and Regional Instruments and Case-Law on Minorities and Indigenous Peoples’ Rights brings together global and regional instruments and case-law. Many of these texts and documents are not easily found elsewhere. The breadth of coverage is second to none and testifies to the in-depth knowledge and expertise of the editors.

Topics covered include civil, cultural, economic, political, social, and solidarity rights, as well as religious and linguistic rights, land ownership, natural resources, climate change, and many others. The work includes a Foreword, an Introduction, and a detailed Index.
