People, Cultures and Societies: Exploring and Documenting Diversities

This book investigates the widespread and persistent human rights violations against Dalits in India, with a focus on the erstwhile central Bihar from 1977 to the present day. Drawing on historical data, field interviews, judicial records, and human rights reports, the book presents a searing account of caste carnages, institutional failures, and the lived realities of marginalization and resistance. Key themes include the role of radical groups and civil society in raising awareness, the complicity and neglect of state institutions, and the urgent need for constitutional accountability and social reform. By weaving together theory, field research, and international human rights frameworks, this book uniquely situates Dalit rights within both Indian and global contexts.This book is a valuable resource on Dalit human rights, ideal for researchers, students, and general readers. It serves as a reference for courses in human rights, social exclusion, anthropology, political science, sociology, and South Asian studies and is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate reading lists.

Gender, Justice and Legal Feminism

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.

Ideal for legal scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and child rights advocates, this comprehensive book delivers both academic depth and practical recommendations.

The Future of Child-Friendly Justice and Children's Rights in Vietnam

This volume brings together the revised and peer reviewed scientific contributions presented at the 5th Conference on Comparative and International Law (27 June 2025), jointly organized by the Law Center of the Catholic University of Petrópolis (Brazil) and the Society of Juridical and Administrative Sciences.
The book explores the intersections between law, ethics, and human vulnerability through a transnational and comparative lens, addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time: technological risks, equality and responsibility in evolving legal frameworks, and the pursuit of justice in the fields of human rights and international criminal law.
The volume is structured into three thematic parts: (1) Technology, Risks and Global Governance – examining how global administrative law, artificial intelligence, and medical innovations such as xenotransplantation generate both opportunities and existential risks, thereby calling for renewed forms of international regulation and ethical responsibility. (2) Responsibility, Equality and Comparative Legal Perspectives – engaging with philosophical and legal perspectives on responsibility, analysing authority and social hierarchies within civil law traditions, and evaluating the principle of equal opportunities between women and men in electoral law from comparative angles. (3) Justice, Human Rights and International Criminal Law – addressing forgotten or ongoing struggles for justice, the contested authority of the International Criminal Court, and the strengths and limitations of climate change litigation as a mechanism for advancing environmental justice.
The central theme of the book is how legal and governance frameworks can address human vulnerability in a rapidly changing global context, where ethical dilemmas, technological disruptions, and structural inequalities converge. Its relevance lies in its ability to connect theoretical insights (legal philosophy, comparative analysis, ethics) with practical challenges (international justice, technological governance, gender equality), thereby offering both critical reflection and policy oriented perspectives.
The volume aims to contribute to addressing the tension between global responsibility and local governance by providing comparative knowledge and highlighting pathways toward more equitable and accountable systems of law and regulation. The target readership includes academics, researchers, PhD candidates, practitioners in international and comparative law, and policymakers interested in the evolving interplay of ethics, vulnerability, and governance in shaping law’s response to contemporary global challenges.

SpringerBriefs in Law

This book unveils the details of the processes and deliberations that culminated in the consensual global commitment to decisively confront racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. It settles the pre-conceived and prejudicial controversies raised against the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. High level delegates and leaders of structures of the conference address the development of the vision of nations for racial justice, building the structures of dialogue towards and during the third world conference against racism, choosing the leadership of the conference, consensus building especially on the so-called difficult issues, the role of championing states such as South Africa (host and then symbol of victory against racism) and Brazil (home to the largest population of people of African heritage outside Africa), and the legacy of the conference and outcome document. It reminds humanity of the merits and nobility of its Durban resolve, based on undertakings in Geneva, Strasbourg, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, and Teheran, under the auspices of the United Nations, and the significance of standing by it.
