Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Since the mid-1990s, increasing international attention has been paid to the issue of violence against women; however, there is still no explicit international human rights treaty prohibition on violence against women and the issue remains poorly defined and understood under international human rights law. Drawing on feminist theories of international law and human rights, this critical examination of the United Nations' legal approaches to violence against women analyses the merits of strategies which incorporate women's concerns of violence within existing human rights norms such as equality norms, the right to life, and the prohibition against torture. Although feminist strategies of inclusion have been necessary as well as symbolically powerful for women, the book argues that they also carry their own problems and limitations, prevent a more radical transformation of the human rights system and ultimately reinforce the unequal position of women under international law.

Written by leading experts, Nationality and Statelessness under International Law introduces the study and practice of 'international statelessness law' and explains the complex relationship between the international law on nationality and the phenomenon of statelessness. It also identifies the rights of stateless people, outlines the major legal obstacles preventing the eradication of statelessness and charts a course for this new and rapidly changing field of study. All royalties from the sale of this book support stateless projects.

The past decades have seen enormous changes in our perceptions of 'security', the causes of insecurity and the measures adopted to address them. Threats of terrorism and the impacts of globalisation and mass migration have shaped our identities, politics and world views. This volume of essays analyses these shifts in thinking and, in particular, critically engages with the concept of 'human security' from legal, international relations and human rights perspectives. Contributors consider the special circumstances of non-citizens, such as refugees, migrants, and displaced and stateless persons, and assess whether, conceptually and practically, 'human security' helps to address the multiple challenges they face.

This story was inspired by a real incident in the life of the author. She and her husband were truck drivers for eighteen years and hauled trailers with a big, purple truck all over the United States. One day, they found out they had a mouse in the cab of their truck when it ran down the author's arm as they drove along. Of course, she was quite startled and when she calmed down she made up this story about the incident, trying to imagine the event from the mouse's point of view. The attached proposal has some rough sketches of how the book might be illustrated to go along with the story and an idea at the end for how to use it as a teaching tool. The story lends itself to educational themes about geography and commerce for use in the classroom or with home school programs. It is the first story in a series of nine charming stories that the author has written about the adventurous little mouse and his family.

YOUR CHILD CAN READ, WRITE AND DRAW Some children compare their drawings to books drawn by expert illustrators, think their work is not "good enough" and don't want to try. This book is deliberately illustrated with illustrations by children so that it can be used as an example to your child that their art, while with room to grow, is still "good." Encourage your child to write and draw. Some children prefer drawing. Other prefer creating the stories. Children who help create stories are more engaged in reading. Being part of the creation of stories can help encourage your child to read and write more. Publishing your child's work is another great way to build their self-esteem and can be used as a reward for achieving goals. Your child can read these stories written and illustrated by other children and be inspired to start their own reading and writing adventures.

The impact of violence and conflict on refugee status determination and international protection is a key developing field. Given the contemporary dynamics of armed conflict, how to interpret and apply the refugee definitions at global and regional levels is increasingly relevant to governmental policy-makers, decision-makers, legal practitioners, academics and students. This book will provide a comprehensive analysis of the global and regional refugee instruments as they apply to claimants in flight from situations of armed violence and conflict, exploring their interrelationship and how they are interpreted and applied (or should be applied). As part of a broader United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees project to develop guidelines on the interpretation and application of international refugee law instruments to claimants fleeing armed conflict and other situations of violence, it includes contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in this field as well as emerging authors with specific expertise.
