  1. Second class citizens : discrimination against Roma, Jews, and other national minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina

    McRae, Amanda
    [New York, N.Y.] : Human Rights Watch, c2012.

    Second class citizens highlights persistent ethnic discrimination against Roma, Jews and other national minorities in politics and its impact on the daily lives of Roma in particular. It calls on Bosnia to immediately amend its constitution to remove ethnic discrimination in politics and take positive steps to end all discrimination against national minorities. It also recommends that the United States and European Union, which helped write the 1995 constitution, play an active role in ensuring its timely amendment.--P. [4] of cover.

  2. "Once you enter, you never leave : deinstitutionalization of persons with intellectual or mental disabilities in Croatia

    New York, NY : Human Rights Watch, c2010.

    "More than 9,000 persons with intellectual or mental disabilities in Croatia live in institutions. Some live in poor conditions. But even when conditions are satisfactory and staff members treat residents well, their rights are neither fully realized nor realizable. Denied privacy and autonomy to make even the most simple life choices, they cannot lead anything like normal lives. Few persons with intellectual or mental disabilities living in Croatian institutions have ever left to live in the community. Life for the few that have has greatly improved. With assistance, many do their own shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Some even work. Yet the government has offered little commitment to expanding these community-based programs, despite their proven success. Croatia was one of the first countries in the world to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a document that explicitly applies basic human rights standards to persons with disabilities, including the right to live in the community. In 2006, Croatia also pledged with the European Union to move persons with disabilities from institutions into the community. This report details the stark contrast between Croatia's commitments and its actions in fulfilling the rights of some of its most vulnerable people. It recommends that Croatia draws on the experiences of other countries and its own community-based support programs to create and implement a plan to deinstitutionalize and move persons with disabilities into the community. It also recommends that persons with disabilities should be involved in every part of the process, and that the European Union take a more active role in promoting community living and deinstitutionalization in Croatia."--P.

    Athens : The University of Georgia Press, [2022]

    "Security studies, also known as international security studies, is an academic subfield within the wider discipline of international relations that examines organized violence, military conflict, and national security. Meant to serve as an introduction to the field of security studies, Contextualizing Security is a collection of original essays, primary source lectures, and previously published material in the overlapping fields of security studies, political science, sociology, journalism, and philosophy. It offers both graduate and undergraduate students a grasp on both foundational issues and more contemporary debates in security studies. Nineteen chapters cover security studies in the context of homeland security and liberty, U.S. foreign policy, lessons from the Cold War, science and technology policy, drones, cybersecurity, the War on Terror, migration, study-abroad programs, the surveillance state, Africa, and China"--Security studies, also known as international security studies, is an academic subfield within the wider discipline of international relations that examines organized violence, military conflict, and national security.
