| Sumari: | How does law conceptualize groups and collective identities like race, ethnicity or nationality? And how does it define who count as members? Identity, Belonging and the Law brings together legal scholars to address these questions through a series of case studies. The volume opens with a theoretical framework by András László Pap and proceeds to examine interpretations of Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The book discusses questions pertaining to the accommodation of various claims, including political representation of minorities, examines legal constructions of indigeneity, and the complexities of ethnic data in law enforcement. |
