The research presented in this volume is based on case studies from around the world to examine how migration influences development. The studies reveal that it is seldom the simple act of migrating, but rather the conditions under which migration takes place that determine the developmental impact of migration. Rather than dwelling on normative discussions about whether migration should contribute to development, whether remittances should be put to more developmental uses, whether return should be promoted or whether development cooperation should engage in collaborative efforts with migrant and refugee diasporas, this study focuses on the questions policymakers and practitioners should consider when making background analyses for such decisions.

Featuring contributions from renowned legal experts and activists from different parts of the world, this volume considers the right of indigenous peoples to reparation for breaches of their  individual and collective rights. Pertinent, in-depth case-studies give a comparative perspective on 

the ways in which the right of indigenous peoples to reparation is realised worldwide.

Universal Minority Rights brings together, for the first time, the full set of all regional and international jurisprudence from courts and treaty bodies concerned with issues of minority rights. Through an exhaustive, comparative analysis of principles and substantive rules, the Commentary shows how, and why, the legal process can be a driving force in the protection of minority interests. It covers ten thematic areas of investigation, including religious, educational, and cultural rights, political participation, and socio-economic opportunities.
