Indigenous Rights
Edited by Anthony J. Connolly, Australian National University, Australia
The International Library of Essays on Rights
Throughout the world, indigenous rights have become increasingly prominent and
controversial. The recent adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is the latest in a series of significant
developments in the recognition of such rights across a range of jurisdictions. The
papers in this collection address the most important philosophical and practical issues
informing the discussion of indigenous rights over the past decade or so, at both the
international and national levels. Its contributing authors comprise some of the most
interesting and influential indigenous and non-indigenous thinkers presently writing
on the topic.

The Right to a Fair Trial
Edited by Thom Brooks, University of Newcastle, UK
The International Library of Essays on Rights
The right to a fair trial is often held as a central constitutional protection.
It nevertheless remains unclear what precisely should count as a‘fair’ trial and who
should decide verdicts. This already difficult issue has become even more important
given a number of proposed reforms of the trial, especially for defendants charged with
terrorism offences. This collection, The Right to a Fair Trial, is the first to publish in one
place the most influential work in the field on the following topics: including the right
to jury trial; lay participation in trials; jury nullification; trial reform; the civil jury trial;
and the more recent issue of terrorism trials. The collection should help inform both
scholars and students of both the importance and complexity of the right to a fair trial,
as well as shed light on how the trial might be further improved.
