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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 basic aim of this book is to contribute towards filling the vast lacuna that exists in the general human rights literature on Asia, but more specifically in the understanding of minority and indigenous peoples' rights in Asia. The lack of coverage of these fundamental issues in this, the world's most populous continent can be attributed to a number of factors, not least the conceptual difficulties (real or perceived) relating to cultural relativism and global human rights that has led to a lack of participation of Asian states and commentators in mainstream human rights law. Asian legal systems, difficult to classify under a single umbrella, have, in their individual constitutional guises, a contribution to make to the development of legal principles. Dealing with a multitude of problems deriving from complex layers of culture, there are nuggets of good practice as well as serious structural issues within the framing and practice of law in Asian states that need to be highlighted and understood in the context of general human rights law as well as minority rights law. This book attempts to address the phenomenon from a theoretical and practical examination of some of these issues. |
