ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | The author examines the legal status of prisoners being held in Guantanomo Bay, especially in view of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention. The author concludes that bringing the prisoners to Guantanamo Bay does not mean that hey have been officially declared to be outlaws. This is especially true with regards to the rights of habeas corpus, which can be suspended under special circumstances which according to the author in this case were not present. The position of the the United States government can be viewed as an attempt to circumvent rights of due process guaranteed by United States national law as well as by international humanitarian and human rights law. As such the prisoners find themselves in a legal "black hole". |
