National Restrictions on Gay, Lesbian and Same-Sex Parentage under Review by the European Court of Human Rights

**Longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize 2026** **Finalist for the Nota Bene Prize** **Selected as a Book of the Summer 2025 by the Guardian, The Times, Sunday Times, independent.co.uk, Vogue and Marie Claire** **Selected as a 2025 book to look out for by the Guardian, Sunday Times, Irish Times, independent.co.uk, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Service95** 'Raw, original and provoking, Saba Sams is Britain's brightest debut novelist' Vogue 'An immersive story about love and the softening borders around what family can be' Sheena Patel 'A joy to read' The Times 'An intimate and tender exploration of love's possibilities' Sophie Mackintosh 'Raw, powerful and beautiful' Observer 'A nuanced exploration of friendship, queerness and love' Jessica Andrews 'I loved this' Nicola Dinan Jules has been divorced from her ex-husband Leon for ­five years, but she still works alongside him at Gunk, the grotty student nightclub he owns in central Brighton. She spends her nights serving shots and watching, from behind the bar, as Leon flirts with students on the dancefloor. But then Leon hires nineteen-year-old Nim to work the bar - and her arrival jolts Jules awake for the ­ first time in years. When Nim discovers she's pregnant, Jules agrees to help. As the months pass, and the relationship between the two women grows increasingly intimate and perplexing, it emerges that Nim has her own unexpected gifts to give. Now, alone in her small flat, Jules is holding a baby, just twenty-four hours old, who still smells of Nim. But no one knows where Nim is, or if she's coming back. What could the future - for Jules, Nim, and this unnamed baby - possibly look like? Raw, exhilarating, tender and wise, Gunk is an electrifying debut novel exploring love and desire, safety and destruction, chaos and control - and family in all its forms.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book conceptualises the European Court of Human Rights' judgments on Islamic dress as manifestations of the fascist impulse in modern human rights law. The author argues that human rights are thus not an antidote to fascism but are constituted through a fascist inflection and implicated in circulating fascism in the everyday. The inability of human rights to say 'no' to laws regulating and criminalising Islamic dress in Europe engenders an institutional Islamophobia in the law and Islamic dress debate in Europe. The author interrogates the historical emergence of human rights, through a methodology of interdisciplinary, theoretical oscillations between feminism, decolonial, phenomenological and neo-Marxist thought to establish the rights/fascism dialectic. She argues that beyond exclusion and erasure the ownership of rights discourse enables the exploitation of racialised and gendered bodies for the maintenance of material and epistemological privilege with a white, Christian, male norm. It is this moment of ownership, where rights are both propertied and property, that constitutes the rights/fascism dialectic. The author goes on to argue that the rights/fascism dialectic operates at the heart of the Islamic dress debate in Europe to create the impossibility and instrumentalisation of Muslim women's bodies in European public space. The book challenges shifting legal justifications by exposing the functioning of capital, colonialism, patriarchy and power at the European Court of Human Rights in key cases such as Sahin v Turkey and SAS v France. Theoretical insights of the rights/fascism dialectic are applied to the law and Islamic dress debate in the multicultural UK, assimilationist France and at the ECtHR. The conclusion is that the Islamic dress debate in Europe manifests the gender and racial differentiation and instrumentalisation that is essential to the maintenance of human rights and the modern, capitalist state in which rights are enmeshed.

Law and Islamic Dress

The Hungarian Yearbook of International Law and European Law presents the most important decisions of international judicial bodies relating to Hungary - either Hungary is one of the parties to the proceedings, or the proceedings have been brought by Hungarian courts or by Hungarian natural or legal persons - placing them in context and analysing them. Another aim is to provide Hungarian researchers with an opportunity to present their latest research findings in the fields of European and international law to an international audience. In addition, the Yearbook regularly reports on developments in the application of international and European law by Hungarian courts.

This Title is also Available as Open Access.

Hungarian Yearbook of International Law and European Law 2026

The go-to text for understanding both the historical development and contemporary contours of foreign policy analysis.

This comprehensive introduction to Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) is geared toward advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Cogently written, clearly organized, and filled with illuminating examples, the fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Beginning with an overview of this broad field of study, Hudson and Day consider theory and research at multiple levels of analysis, including personality and psychology of foreign policy decision makers, small group dynamics, the organizational process, bureaucratic politics, domestic politics, cultural and societal influences, national attributes, and system-level effects on foreign policy. The authors also examine the promise and frustration of theoretical integration in FPA and overview promising new work by non-North American scholars.

Focus on Human Rights
In this book Professors Jau-hwa Chen of Soochow University, Taipei, and Eibe Riedel of the University of Mannheim present 10 contributions from a joint human rights project. The problems faced by marginalized and disadvantaged individuals and groups are examined, with an emphasis on everyday life experiences. Persistent human rights violations are scoped, such as those relating to LGBTIQ+ issues, women’s sexual and reproductive health, and the social exclusion and marginalization of Indigenous tribes in Taiwan. Other contributions address forced evictions and housing rights, unresolved transitional justice issues, as well as constitutional court jurisprudence in Taiwan.
Finally, as a warning, the book portrays negative developments in Hungary, where a shift away from parliamentary democratic representation toward increasingly authoritarian rule can be observed, and examines how opposition action outside Parliament may nevertheless succeed despite state interventions.
Menschenrechte im Fokus
In diesem englischsprachigen&nbsp; Buch präsentieren die Professoren Jau-hwa Chen von der Soochow University, Taipeh, und Eibe Riedel von der Universität Mannheim zehn Beiträge aus einem gemeinsamen Menschenrechtsprojekt. Die Probleme, mit denen marginalisierte und benachteiligte Individuen und Gruppen konfrontiert sind, werden unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ihrer Alltagserfahrungen untersucht. Auch anhaltende Menschenrechtsverletzungen werden analysiert, beispielsweise im Zusammenhang mit LGBTIQ+-Themen, der sexuellen und reproduktiven Gesundheit von Frauen sowie der sozialen Ausgrenzung und Marginalisierung indigener Stämme in Taiwan.
Weitere Beiträge behandeln Zwangsräumungen und Wohnrechte, ungelöste Fragen der Übergangsjustiz sowie die Rechtsprechung der Verfassungsgerichte in Taiwan. Abschließend stellt das Buch als Warnung negative Entwicklungen in Ungarn dar, wo eine Abkehr von parlamentarischer demokratischer Vertretung hin zu zunehmend autoritärer Herrschaft zu beobachten ist, und untersucht, wie Oppositionsaktionen außerhalb des Parlaments trotz staatlicher Eingriffe dennoch erfolgreich sein können.

Human Rights Standards between Recognition, Confirmation, Affirmation and Change

The law codes in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region are a well-crafted blend of civil and Islamic law in which civil law principles do not violate Islamic provisions. Yet, common law principles derived either from English common law or Islamic customary usages remain unidentified and thus ignored. Here, this complex scenario is rectified through a comparative analysis of the primary data (e.g. cases, statutes and arbitral award decisions), adding common law and uncodified Islamic custom to MENA law codes. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to allow common legal principles found in civil, common and Islamic law to be distilled in order to create a new, harmonised international commercial arbitration law code (HICALC) or uniform Arab arbitration law (UAAL) for adoption in the MENA region, where these principles already greatly influence the legal systems and can be readily assimilated into a harmonised or uniform code. The work demonstrates that this new code would lead to improved arbitral award enforcement in the MENA.

"An accessible and reassuring manual for navigating fertility treatment...Sekhon expertly balances urging early planning so readers can keep their options open with a calming, empowering tone." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A common-sense guide to getting pregnant...Dr. Lucky skillfully mixes medical information with patients' stories and her own." -Booklist (starred review) INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER Readers are saying: "A fertility GPS" ¿ "Calm in a book" ¿ "Everyone deserves a doctor like this." ¿ "I've learned more from this book than both of my REIs combined." ¿ "It makes an overwhelming and emotional process feel so much more manageable." Imagine if your best friend also happened to be a top fertility doctor-the kind who could break down the complexities of conception with warmth, humor, and real-world insight. In The Lucky Egg, Dr. Lucky Sekhon is that brilliant friend, ready to guide you through every stage of the fertility journey, whether it's straightforward or deeply complex. From understanding what your AMH level really means to navigating egg freezing, IVF, or embryo genetic testing, Dr. Lucky blends expert medical knowledge with relatable patient stories to demystify the process. Her guidance meets you exactly where you are-whether you're just starting to track ovulation, facing a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, exploring the use of donor eggs or sperm, or have been through multiple rounds of treatment with no clear path forward. One in six people struggle with infertility, yet open, informed conversations are still rare. For many, the journey to parenthood is isolating, overwhelming, and full of medical jargon. For LGBTQ+ individuals, the barriers can be even greater-layered with legal and political hurdles that make an already emotional process feel even more fraught. The Lucky Egg is here to change that. With evidence-based, accessible explanations and a voice that feels like a trusted ally, Dr. Lucky empowers readers with the knowledge they need to make confident decisions. Her goal is simple but profound: to replace confusion and fear with clarity, comfort, and hope. With unwavering optimism and the bedside manner you've been longing for, The Lucky Egg is your compassionate guide to planning for and building the family of your dreams.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This innovative study provides a comprehensive exposition of the unique function, requirements, ambit, and justification of resulting trusts in Anglo-Australian law. It addresses how major resulting trust developments in other common law and civil law jurisdictions around the world can be understood in light of the analysis. The analysis goes further to explore the impacts on the private international law dimension of resulting trusts. The book will make compelling reading for private lawyers in the common law world, offering something truly new to the literature in the field.

Rationalising Resulting Trusts

Hart Studies in European Criminal Law

This book analyses the theorisation and application of proportionality of criminal offences and penalties in EU law, shedding light on its hybrid nature. In the EU legal order, proportionality amounts to a general principle playing a crucial role in limiting the exercise of EU powers, assessing domestic measures' compatibility with internal market freedoms, and adjudicating fundamental rights. The EU concept of proportionality has a precise theorisation, but the principle assumes a distinct physiognomy in EU criminal law. Indeed, proportionality has a different meaning in criminal law, linked to theories of punishment. Not only do the two understandings of proportionality coexist in EU criminal law, but they are also intertwined, thus giving rise to a hybrid principle. However, their uneasy relationship remains unexplored. To understand this unique interaction, the book deepens theorisation and applications of the hybrid principle of proportionality of criminal offences and penalties in the EU legislative practice on the harmonisation of substantive criminal law and ECJ case law on the review of domestic criminal measures. This analysis gives fresh insights into the relationship between the EU and criminal law concepts of proportionality within the EU legal order.
