The KHRP Legal Review is the only existing legal journal considering significant developments in the Kurdish regions of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and elsewhere. Published biannually, it is intended to build capacity among NGOs, lawyers and human rights defenders by providing clear guidance, updates and analysis of issues relevant to the regions. This edition provides the findings of recent trial observation missions to the regions and of a recent conference concerning Turkey's accession to the EU. It also evaluates progressive projects to develop women's rights. It provides an analysis of the Divisional Court's judgment in Al-Skeini v Secretary of State for the Defense and of the supervisory system of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM). Civil society developments in Iraq are also featured, together with an analysis of the controversial issue of wearing religious symbols in state schools.
