The International Legal Order’s Colour Line: Racism, Racial Discrimination, and the Making of International Law
Prior to the twentieth century, international law was predominantly written by and for the ‘civilised nations’ of the white Global North. It justified doctrines of racial inequality and effectively drew a colour line that excluded citizens of the Global South and persons of African descent from participating in international law-making while subjecting them to colonialism and the slave trade.The International Legal Order’s Colour Line narrates this divide and charts the development of regulation on racism and racial discrimination at the international level, principally within the United Nations. Most notably, it outlines how these themes gained traction once the Global South gained more participation in international law-making after the First World War. It challenges the narrative that human rights are a creation of the Global North by focussing on the decisive contributions that countries of the Global South and people of colour made to anchor anti-racism in international law.
After assessing early historical developments, chapters are devoted to The League of Nations, the adoption and implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the debates within UNESCO on the notion of race itself, expansion of crimes against humanity to cover peacetime violations, as well as challenges to apartheid in South Africa. At all stages, the focus lies on the role played by those who have been the victims of racial discrimination, primarily the countries of the Global South, in advancing the debate and promoting the development of new legal rules and institutions for their implementation. The International Legal Order’s Colour Line provides a comprehensive history and compelling new approach to the history of human rights law.

Legal Thought and Eastern Orthodox Christianity: The Addresses of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I (Law and Religion)
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians worldwide, has thought profoundly about the role of law as it applies to the church, to civic life in Europe, to human rights, to religious freedom, and to the environment. In this book, leading scholars across the world reflect critically on the significance of his legal thought for human flourishing, for Christian social teaching, and for Christian unity. His legal thought is summed up in five key public addresses that he has delivered around the world in recent years, on: church law as an ecumenical instrument; the role of religion in a changing Europe; Orthodoxy and human rights; religion and freedom; and climate change, ecumenical imperatives. The collection presents critical reflections on the legal thought in these five important, distinct, and topical fields of human life. Its ten chapters, with two chapters devoted to each of his five addresses, are written by leading scholars across the world from different Christian traditions with expertise in the fields studied. They provide an analysis of the legal thought of the Patriarch, explain its significance legally, theologically, and politically, and propose its unifying value for the whole of global Christianity today. The book will be essential reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of law and religion, legal philosophy, comparative canon law, theology, and ecumenical studies.

But she knows she can play it “mumsy” when she needs to. She drinks too much coffee, and likes a Bacardi and Coke, though she tries not to drink because it makes her maudlin about her useless ex, Joe.Lola’s main rival in the force is Detective Sergeant Aidan Pierce, who seems hell-bent on sabotaging the case — and her career with it. He thinks he’s the next big thing, and is intensely frustrated that she got ‘his’ promotion. Carefully dressed in expensive Italian suits, he’s a snob, very good looking and vain with it.

Luckily, Lola has Detective Constable Kirstie Campbell to back her up. Kirstie is committed and plays by the book.

A WORLD FULL OF WEEPING an utterly gripping fast-paced medical thriller (Eisenmenger-Flemming Forensic Mysteries Book 4)
‘McCarthy lays on the grisly detail with a practising doctor’s detached eye.’ -Publishers WeeklyAn invitation to spend a week or two with childhood friends over New Year seemed an excellent idea to help Helena’s recovery after her cancer treatment.
Helena had grown up with the Hickmans, had spent many happy holidays with them, and the fact that they lived in a castle surrounded by forest on the edge of a lake made it an even more perfect spot to recuperate.
But when a man is found burned to death in a car on the edge of the castle estate the apparently irrelevant though horrible incident creates unexpected disturbances in the lives of all those living in the castle.
Helena and her partner John Eisenmenger, caught in the middle of it all, cannot understand why. Nor can Detective Constable Sally Felty, navigating her first few months on the job, or her attractive yet elusive superior, Inspector Sauerwine.
But the unpleasantness grows and worse is to come, for there are secrets in the castle — secrets that are of profound importance not only to the Hickmans, but also to the police service’s treatment of a previous case, and to Helena and her past…
A World Full of Weeping is a grippingly complex thriller than keeps the reader in suspense right to the very end.

‘The best thriller writer alive’ – Ken Follett
Sometimes you have to fight dirty to get clean.
Sebastian Rudd takes the cases no one else wants to take: the drug-addled punk accused of murdering two little girls; a crime lord on death row; a homeowner accused of shooting at a SWAT team.
Rudd believes that every person accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial – even if he has to cheat to get one. He antagonises people from both sides of the law: his last office was firebombed, either by drug dealers or cops. He doesn’t know or care which.
But things are about to get even more complicated for Sebastian. Arch Swanger is the prime suspect in the abduction and presumed murder of 21-year-old Jiliana Kemp, the daughter of the assistant chief of police. When Swanger asks Sebastian to represent him, he lets Sebastian in on a terrible secret . . . one that will threaten everything Sebastian holds dear.

ROBBERY WITH MALICE a gripping British legal thriller full of twists (A Chris Tyroll Mystery Book 2)
Just before the start of what should be an idyllic Christmas, two very different women manage to turn West Midland lawyer Chris Tyroll’s life upside down.One is his beautiful and no-nonsense fiancée, Sheila McKenna, who arrives unexpectedly at Heathrow.
To Chris’s delight, she announces that she has arranged a year’s sabbatical in England.
The other is the less shapely, but equally beguiling Granny Cassidy who persuades Chris to take on the appeal of Alan Walton; her son-in-law convicted in the infamous Belstone Lane Case.
As a man who has served twelve years for crimes he claims he didn’t commit, Walton has nothing left to lose and is dead set on an appeal. To Chris the case initially seems hopeless, but sensing that something doesn’t quite add up and with scores of his own to settle, he reluctantly accepts the job.
He and Sheila begin the daunting task of unearthing files that had been closed for eighteen years and searching for parties who frequently don’t want to be found.
But troublesome enmities are awakened and witnesses are silenced — sometimes by murder.
Repeated threats put the duo in danger until violent threats come to fruition and it becomes crystal clear that trouble awaits them if the case is probed any further.
Chris is no stranger to hassle from criminals and dubious policemen, but having narrowly escaped death only last year, images of masked judges and police flash through his mind at night and he wonders whether this time will be different.
Someone, somewhere, will stop at nothing to ensure the case remains permanently closed.
But who are these figures sent to stop Chris in the dark and why are they so concerned?
A complicated trail of lies and forgeries have to be unravelled before Chris and Sheila can even begin to understand the extent to which the law has been perverted to pursue a private revenge…
‘Robbery for Malice’ is a gripping legal thriller, perfect for fans of John Grisham.
