Reihe: Yearbook of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law

In less than ten years, the Yearbook of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law has become the leading forum for commentary on and analysis of emerging issues in a field of study of ever-increasing global significance.

The latest volume includes:

insightful essays on the Palestinian `right of return,' the Lockerbie trial, the Islamic law principle of `just exchange,' and special issues in Ismaili, Saudi, and UAE law;

country-by-country surveys, by resident practitioners, of recent legal and related developments in twenty countries;

the draft Declaration, in full text, of the World Conference Against Racism; and

case summaries and book reviews.

There is no more useful and thorough précis of what has happened in Islamic and Middle Eastern law over the last year. As always, this latest Yearbook will be warmly welcomed by practitioners and academics everywhere the influence of Islamic and Middle Eastern law is felt.
