Recenzje

'The greatest strength of this book is its breadth of coverage and the wealth of material that is presented without any loss of depth. It provides a comprehensive summary of the legal issues at play for the disappearing small island community and is in that regard a useful reference point for further research in the field.' Katrina Peake, Human Rights Law Review
