We would like to inform you of an edited collection that you may find of
interest. The book is entitled 
'Minorities, Peoples and Self-Determination Essays in Honour of Patrick
Thornberry'
edited by Nazila Ghanea and Alexandra Xanthaki and published in 2005 by
Martinus Nojhoff/Brill Academics. 

The volume is in honour of Professor Patrick Thornberry and was
presented to in December 2004. It presents new thinking on minority and
indigenous rights in international law. Contributors to this 17 chapter
volume include an impressive range of academics, thinkers, practitioners
and international civil servants with a number of different approaches
to this complex area. Not all of them take a legal approach, and this
exploration benefits from the variety of frameworks utilised in
contributing to the controversial area of minority and indigenous
rights. 

The contents of the edited collection are as follows:
