Legal Review 14 covers the period from July to December 2008 and features news and updates relevant to the Kurdish regions, as well as summaries and analysis of pertinent decisions of international, UK and US Courts. To mark KHRP’s 15th anniversary, this edition includes a special feature looking back on the organisation’s litigation throughout that time and the many important precedents that have been set as a result. Other articles in this edition tackle the legal status of minorities in Turkey, the human rights impact of proscription regimes, and approaches to the issue of hate speech within the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Legal Review is essential reading for anyone interested in legal developments in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and the Caucasus.
