Yearbook of Women's Rights

The CEDAW Convention for women's human rights was founded on the belief that women's human rights-established through legal, political, and educational systems-are an essential component of development in society. Is was a major step forward in the promotion and protection of international women's rights. The sixteen substantive articles of the Convention outline the obligations to pursue goals of equality in education, health care, employment, family life, and participation in public and political life. Ratifying countries are obligated to report on the status of women within one year of ratification and every four years thereafter. With the adoption in 2000 of an Optional Protocol to the Convention, women gained an avenue for individual claims of Convention violations as well.

The Yearbook of Women’s Rights reports once a year on the developments in this exciting, rapidly-developing sub-field of international human rights protection.

Yearbook of Human Rights & Environment

The many links between protection of human rights and protection of the environment have long been recognized. The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment declared that "man's environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to his well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rights--even the right to life itself." The Yearbook focuses on research done regarding the delicate correlation between Human Rights and the Environment. Topics covered in recent issues: Existing and Emerging Standards in International Law and Global Society, between Human Rights, Environment and Economy, as well as implementing principles of the public participation convention in international environmental organizations.

International Yearbook of Minority Issues

Most countries have laws stating that all members of society, regardless of their ethnic and cultural background, should enjoy equal rights and opportunities. National minorities are to be protected and their scope for influence enlarged. Currently many countries are moving from immigration policy to integration policy using society's ethnic and cultural diversity as starting point for overall policy in every sector of society. The aim is to stop segregation, combat racism, xenophobia and ethnic discrimination. In order to achieve this, many governments have proposed new laws on citizenship intended to facilitate integration. The International Yearbook of Minority Issues provides an overview of new legal and policy measures related to these developments.
