Justice on Trial: Law, Politics and Western Sahara - Paperback

by Katlyn Thomas (Editor), Clive Symmons (Editor), Pedro Pinto Leite (Editor)

In the first book IPJET published in 2007 on the legal issues involved in the Western

Sahara dispute a number of esteemed scholars discussed a myriad of issues that were

pertinent to the topic at that time. Since then a number of other issues have arisen which

have added to or complemented the discussions raised in that book, and the current edition

seeks to present some of the most important of these in four sections: first, an updated

discussion of the right to self-determination as it applies to Western Sahara; second, a

discussion of human rights developments in the territory; third, an examination of the

current exploitation of the territory's resources; and fourth, an expose of the international

political elements that have hindered the application of international law principles to

the territory.
