Descripción
Sumario:This book focuses on trend-setting judgments in different parts of the world that impacted on the rights of persons belonging to minorities and Indigenous people. The cases illustrate how the judiciary has been called upon to fill out the detail of minority protection arrangements and how, in doing so, in many instances the judiciary has taken the respective countries on a course that parliament may not have been able to navigate. In this book authors from various backgrounds in the practical application of minority protection arrangements investigate the role of the judiciary in constitutional arrangements aimed at the protection of the rights of minorities and Indigenous peoples.
Notas:"The book originates from a grant that Bertus de Villiers received from the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung (Germany) for Innovative Research Networking. The project entailed a three year series of workshop on contem porary constitutional jurisprudence. One workshop was held in Australia and two in Indonesia"--ECIP acknowlegments.
