ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nobel Peace Prize 2018 Nadia Murad was a victim of the Islamic State's sexual jihad. Now she has become a human rights advocate, the first person to be appointed United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking. This is her story. On August 15, 2014, Nadia Murad's life changed forever. Islamic State troops stormed her small village in northern Iraq, where the Yazidi minority lived a peaceful life, and committed a massacre. They executed men and women, including her mother and six of her brothers, and piled them into mass graves. Nadia, who was twenty-one years old, was kidnapped along with thousands of other young women and girls and sold as a sex slave. The soldiers tortured and raped her repeatedly for months until one night she miraculously managed to escape through the streets of Mosul. Thus began her long and dangerous journey to freedom. As a child, Nadia, a peasant girl, never imagined that one day she would speak before the United Nations or win the Nobel Peace Prize. She had never set foot in Baghdad, nor had she ever seen an airplane. Today, Nadia's story urges the world to pay attention to the genocide of her people. It is a call to action to stop the crimes of the Islamic State, a powerful testimony to the strength of the human will. The Last Girl is also a love letter to a vanished country, a vulnerable community, and a family devastated by war. The courage and testimony of a young woman can change the world. So that it is not forgotten, because she wants to be the last to have to live it, Nadia tells her story.

‘There are few historical developments more significant than the realisation that those in power should not be free to torture and abuse those who are not.’ – Amal Clooney On 10 December 1948, in Paris, the United Nations General Assembly adopted an extraordinarily ground-breaking and important proclamation: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This milestone document, made up of thirty Articles, sets out, for the first time, the fundamental human rights that must be protected by all nations. The full text of the document is reproduced in this book following a foreword by human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and a general introduction which explores its origins in the ‘Four Freedoms’ described by U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the role his wife Eleanor Roosevelt took on as chair of the Human Rights Commission and of the drafting committee, and the parts played by other key international members of the Commission. It was a pioneering achievement in the wake of the Second World War and continues to provide a basis for international human rights law, making this document’s aims ‘as relevant today as when they were first adopted a lifetime ago.’

The Right to a Fair Trial in International Lawbrings together the diverse sources of international law that define the right to a fair trial in the context of criminal (as opposed to civil, administrative or other) proceedings. The book provides a comprehensive explanation of what the right to a fair trial means in practice under international law and focuses on factual scenarios that practitioners and judges may face in court. Each of the book's fourteen chapters examines a component of the right to a fair trial as defined in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and reviews the case law of regional human rights courts, international criminal courts as well as UN human rights bodies. Highlighting both consensus and divisions in the international jurisprudence in this area, this book provides an invaluable resource to practitioners and scholars dealing with breaches of one of the most fundamental human rights.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this intimate memoir of survival, a former captive of the Islamic State tells her harrowing and ultimately inspiring story. Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2018 Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in northern Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia had dreams of becoming a history teacher or opening her own beauty salon. On August 15th, 2014, when Nadia was just twenty-one years old, this life ended. Islamic State militants massacred the people of her village, executing men who refused to convert to Islam and women too old to become sex slaves. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia was taken to Mosul and forced, along with thousands of other Yazidi girls, into the ISIS slave trade. Nadia would be held captive by several militants and repeatedly raped and beaten. Finally, she managed a narrow escape through the streets of Mosul, finding shelter in the home of a Sunni Muslim family whose eldest son risked his life to smuggle her to safety. Today, Nadia's story--as a witness to the Islamic State's brutality, a survivor of rape, a refugee, a Yazidi--has forced the world to pay attention to the ongoing genocide in Iraq. It is a call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community, and a family torn apart by war."
