Book Description
Since the publication of the second edition of this outstanding collection there has been a continued and rapid growth in the number international conventions, protocols, declarations and recommendations governing migration; and a transformation of the European Union's the legislation on the subject. The present edition takes account of these developments.
Among the new instruments appearing in this edition are the EU's Minimum Standards Directive, its Responsibility Directive and the Family Union Directive, the European Convention on Nationality, several Conclusions of the Executive Committee of the UNHCR and Protocol No 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights. Account has been taken of the entry into force of certain of the instruments which, at the time of the second edition, remained without legal effect. Chief among these is the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families, which entered into force on 1 July 2003 and at the end of 2005 had 27 parties. As in the second edition, the first four Parts deal respectively with general multilateral instruments, texts governing nationality and statelessness, general instruments on refugees and Council of Europe Instruments. Parts Five, Six, Seven and Eight, which are substantially composed of new measures, deal with aspects of EU law or policy, replacing the two parts devoted to this subject in the second edition, which in turn replaced a single chapter in the first edition.
This publication is not intended for scholars alone, but also for practitioners in migration law. The texts are of practical significance for those concerned with the administration of the laws affecting migration and for representatives of those affected by these laws. It also serves as a companion to Richard Plender's monograph, International Migration Law.
Book Description
The genocidal barbarism of the Nazi forces has been well documented. What is little known is the fate of fifteen million German civilians who found themselves on the wrong side of new postwar borders. All over Eastern Europe, the inhabitants of communities that had been established for many centuries were either expelled or killed. Over two million Germans did not survive. Some of these people had supported Hitler, but the great majority did not. In A Terrible Revenge, de Zayas describes their horrible fate. This new edition includes an updated foreword, epilogue, and additional information from recent interviews with the children of the displaced.

Time the World Put Communism on Trial........2007-08-12
I have this book, and glad I bought it. It's very enlightening.
I'll have to find out what that "Konzentrationslager Dokument F321 fuer den Internationalen Miltaergerichtshof Nuerenberg" is... seems very little info exists for it on the web.
and...
I am wondering when they will put the Nuremberg trials on a second hearing like Trotsky got... Dewey Investigating Committee found Moscow trials were a "perversion of judicial process," how much more so the Nuremberg Trials, and afterall, Soviet Justice demanded fake trials (the General who was appointed by the Russians, had been involved in fake trials in the 1930's in the USSR), since for Stalin, a false charge was just as good as a legitimate charge for more information After the Reich: The Brutal History of The Allied Occupation). ... as for Nuremberg, starting with creating laws, and backdating them, no cross-reference of witnesses, accepting hearsay as testimony, no right to appeal, heck, the officers weren't even allowed to know what charges were being brought against them. Despite an outcry from legal authorities everywhere that Nuremberg Law was hypocritical (e.g., the atomic bomb and the unforgivably inhumane bombing raids) the trial was simply victor's justice and revenge, not justice, but Stalin and his cohorts would have their way. Been reading some other books on the history of world war II and I'm not happy with.... the Seven Million Holocaust against Ukraine, that nobody ever utters a word about -- because the New York Times was too busy denying it (1932-1933), and the League of Nations was too busy sucking up to Stalin, and well.... you should read about the 85-110 Million murdered by Communists... and what about those gas chambers of the KGB? We never hear about them.
You know Joseph Goebbels wasn't denying the Holocaust? You know that? In his speech, "Communism with the Mask Off," he addresses the question that even possibly as many as 6 million may have died due to the famine forced on Ukraine, by Stalin's collectivism stupidity. Wretched. But nobody was listening to Goebbels' warnings about Communist aggression. I don't like it when I see these same Marxists in our governments now, running the media... and of course, that explains why nobody is discussing the 85-110 Million murdered by Communists; Stalin's extermination against nationalism, religious persecution (turning churches into barns, atheistical rampages of hatred and intoleration).. my God! my God! When will the Communists and Marxists be put on trial for their mega-murdering crimes against humanity? When will justice be served on the great criminals responsible for World War II?
This book serves as just one more piece of incriminating evidence against the true criminals responsible for World War II (and several others as well.
"There is no famine or actual starvation nor is there likely to be."
-New York Times, November 15, 1931, page 1
"Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda."
- New York Times, August 23, 1933
"Enemies and foreign critics can say what they please."
- New York Times, December 9, 1932
"You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
- New York Times, May 14, 1933
"What are a few million dead Russians in a situation like this? Quite unimportant. This is just an incident in the sweeping historical changes here. I think the entire matter is exaggerated."
- New York Times reporter Walter Duranty (1932-1933).
The disregarded genocide.......2007-05-03
The most grievous violation of the right based on historical evolution and of any human right in general is to deprive populations of their right to occupy the country where they live by compelling them to settle elsewhere. ... the victorious powers decided at the end of WWII to impose this fate on hundreds of thousands of human beings ... in a most cruel manner.
-- Albert Schweitzer, ca. Nobel Prize for Peace, Oslo, 1954.
Ancestors of my best family friends lived in rural villages in land near the Danube River watershed. (Biggest crop: cannabis hemp.) They are known as the Danube Swabians and were among several peoples living outside of Germany's early 20th-century borders (often in enclaves resented by their neighbors) referred to as the ethic Germans (Volksdeutsche).
Following WWII, due to concessions made by England and America at Yalta[, approximately 17 million of these East European Germans were systematically expelled from their lands where many of them had lived for centuries.
2,111,000 were killed in the process!
A Terrible Revenge is the story of this forced dispossession.
Human rights activist and author, Dr. de Zayas, paints a sad and brutal picture of The Expulsion. Through touching personal stories of dozens of the victims and through a detailed account of the machinations of states, Dr. de Zayas has raised the issue of this uniquely "disregarded" 20th century genocide to center stage.
Why haven't we heard of this one? And why should we?
To answer the first question, let's go to a Webpage on 20th century genocides, where we obtain the following list:
Bosnia-Herzegovina: 1992-1995 - 200,000 Deaths
Rwanda: 1994 - 800,000 Deaths
Pol Pot in Cambodia: 1975-1979 - 2,000,000 Deaths
Nazi Holocaust: 1938-1945 - 6,000,000 Deaths
Rape of Nanking: 1937-1938 - 300,000 Deaths
Stalin's Forced Famine: 1932-1933 - 7,000,000 Deaths
Armenians in Turkey: 1915-1918 - 1,500,000 Deaths
Giving the benefit of the doubt to the accuracy of the numbers, we can see that 2,100,000 killings certainly qualifies The Expulsion as a genocide. It's actually the fourth highest in absolute death count. Also referring to the site's definition of genocide as massive "race" "killing" by intention, The Expulsion meets any objective criteria for inclusion on the standard list.

Amazing book on the persecution of innocents.......2007-03-08
Dr. Zayas has collected a comprehensive account of the persecution of innocents after WWII. A must read for those interested in the little known atrocities. Filled with touching antidotes told by people who were unlucky enough to have their home taken away and expelled under brutal circumstances simply as a political expediency.
A long overdue tale about the greatest crime of the 20th century in peacetime.......2007-02-17
This book is one of the few books I've read that actually caused me to feel physically ill. It details the horrible treatment innocent German civilians had to endure from the Bolshevik hordes in the period from 1944 and onwards. Even though written from a liberal and kind of "excuse me for being German" perspective, I appreciate the effort the author has made in writing and researching this thought-provoking book.
I'm fully aware that the German soldiers and their allies didn't exactly rub the Slavic population gently on the back as they passed, but due to partisans and Bolsheviks, I don't think they had much of a choice. But that being said, I think you'll be hard pressed to find instances where 20 German soldiers rape one Slavic girl again and again in front of her parents, before they slaughter the entire family and torch the property, for no other reason than the family being Slavic. As you might have guessed by now, this was more or less what happened to every German girl that found herself in the hands of these Eastern hordes.
After the initial ravage, plunder, murder and rape was through, in the ending phase of the war and just afterwards, followed the forced expulsion from their Germanic ancestral lands for nearly a millennium with nothing but what they could carry away in a few minutes, if that, in hand. The treatment these Germanic brethren of ours got by the Bolshevik conquerors, and the cowardice displayed by the Western "Allies", turning a blind eye to the horrible crimes committed against these helpless people from 1944 and onwards, is probably the most unknown and at the same time apocalyptic crime, carried out in peacetime in the heart of Europe.
Highly recommended as a compliment to the eternal repetitions we are forced to hear about daily in regards to the events nowadays elevated to what basically amounts to "our" modern mode of religion.
Wonderful and well written.......2006-10-26
This is a Great book. The author brings the issues home. I am the son of an expellee and still to this day my Father has nightmares about this time in his life. It gave me a better understanding of history and my past. If Mr Zayas writes more on this subject I will buy it also.
Book Description
This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the human rights of refugees as set by the UN Refugee Convention. In an era where States are increasingly challenging the logic of simply assimilating refugees to their own citizens, questions are now being raised about whether refugees should be allowed to enjoy freedom of movement, to work, to access public welfare programs, or to be reunited with family members. Doubts have been expressed about the propriety of exempting refugees from visa and other immigration rules, and whether there is a duty to admit refugees at all. Hathaway links the standards of the UN Refugee Convention to key norms of international human rights law, and applies his analysis to the world's most difficult protection challenges. This is a critical resource for advocates, judges, and policymakers. It will also be a pioneering scholarly work for graduate students of international and human rights law.
Book Description
Millions of people are forced today to flee persecution. The core international legal instrument on which they must rely to find safety is the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. This book examines key challenges the Convention faces, on the basis of nine papers by eminent international refugee lawyers, which were then discussed at an expert roundtable meeting in 2001 as part of UNHCR's Global Consultations on International Protection. The papers are published here in one volume, together with the conclusions of the roundtables and other documents.
Download Description
Millions of people are today forced to flee their homes as a result of conflict, systematic discrimination, or other forms of persecution. The core instruments on which they must rely to secure international protection are the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. This book examines key challenges that the Convention faces, including the scope of the principle of non-refoulement and the proper application of the elements of the refugee definition. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) commissioned papers on these issues from some of the world's pre-eminent international refugee lawyers, discussed at a series of expert roundtable meetings during 2001 as part of UNHCR's Global Consultations on International Protection. The papers and roundtable conclusions are published here, together with an introduction and the landmark declaration of the 2001 Ministerial Meeting of States Parties to the Convention and/or Protocol.
Book Description
Asylum has become a highly charged political issue across developed countries over the last two decades. This book draws upon political and ethical theory and an examination of the experiences of the U.S., Germany, the U.K. and Australia to consider how to respond to the challenges of asylum. In addition to explaining why it has emerged as such a key political issue, the study provides a compelling account of how states could implement morally defensible responses to refugees.

Book Description
This volume on international refugee law and policy assesses the rights of refugees and asylum seekers and the often contrasting reality of state practice. It contains contributions from seventeen experts, drawn from a variety of professions and disciplines, including lawyers, international organisation fonctionnaires, NGO advisors and political scientists. The first part of the book concerns the evolving refugee definition and some of its key conceptual elements, with chapters variously considering matters of theory as well as jurisprudential and treaty law developments, both historical and current. Later parts are concerned with asylum regimes, in particular the roles of key actors in the refugee discourse, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), nation states, and the embryonic regional asylum regime of the European Union. Permeating the latter parts is the relationship, and sometimes the gulf, between the reality of institutional and state action and the rights of refugees.

Book Description
Since the end of the Cold War and re-unification, Germany's policy toward and within the European Union has undergone significant changes. Once a model 'Europeanist', Germany has become increasingly reluctant to support the progressive implementation of key projects of European integration. Integrating insights from foreign policy analysis, integration theory, and social theory and providing an in-depth analysis of both refugee and security policy, the book develops an innovative framework for analysis that is capable of accounting for an incremental 'de-Europeanization' in Germany's EU policy.

Migration, Immigration and Social Policy (Broadening Perspectives on Social Policy)
ASIN: 0312231431 |
Book Description
Immigration control policy is a burning issue in the domestic sphere and on the international scene. This book offers a theory of international immigration policy, based on an analysis of immigration policies in the United States, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. It explains how governments decide on the number of immigrants they will accept, whether to differentiate between various ethnic groups, whether to accept refugees and on what basis, and whether to favor permanent immigration over migrant workers. The book demonstrates how the interaction between socioeconomic trends, foreign policy considerations and the type of immigration shapes immigration control policies, and it evaluates the relative importance of each of these factors.
