Die letzte Kolonie - Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit im Indischen Ozean
Der bekannte Menschenrechtsanwalt und Bestseller-Autor Philippe Sands erzählt die skandalöse Geschichte eines Verstoßes gegen die Menschenrechte. Er zeigt, dass der Kolonialismus noch nicht überwunden ist undGroßbritannien bis heute internationales Recht bricht.April 1973. Mitten in der Nacht werden die Bewohner einer Insel im Chagos-Archipel aus dem Schlaf gerissen. Britische Soldaten zwingen sie mit vorgehaltenen Waffen, ihre Häuser zu verlassen, per Schiff werden sie nach Mauritius und in die USA deportiert. Chagoswird zu britischem Territorium erklärt, Großbritannien verpachtet eine der Inseln für eine Militärbasis an die USA.'Wir waren wie Tiere oder Sklaven auf diesem Schiff. Einige starben vor Kummer. (...) Es bricht einem das Herz.' Mit diesen Worten beschrieb Liseby Elysé 2018 vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof ihre Deportation. Seit Jahrzehnten streiten sie und ihre Landsleute um das Recht auf Rückkehr, seit 2018 werden sie dabei von Philippe Sands beraten.2019 schrieb der Internationale Gerichtshof die Chagos-Inseln Mauritius zu, was der Internationale Seegerichtshof 2021 bestätigte. Doch Großbritannien verweigerte weiterhin die Rückgabe der Inseln und die Rückkehr ihrer Bewohner. Erst im Oktober verkündete es, die Hoheit über die Inseln an Mauritius zu übertragen. Damit wird Liseby Elysés Traum, ihre letzten Lebensjahre in ihrer Heimat zu beenden und neben ihren Vorfahren begraben zu werden, endlich wahr. Nur die Insel Diego Garcia bleibt noch für 99 Jahre ein US-Militärstützpunkt. Ein aufrüttelndes Buch über kolonialen Dünkel und die Missachtung von Menschenrechten - und über die Kraft des Internationalen Rechts. 'Elegant geschrieben, bewegend und höchst informativ.'

City of Lions
"A loving, sensuous, but also gently ironic reconstruction of a lost city" -- LA Review of Books A timely reissue of the classic portrayal of the Ukrainian city of Lviv by 2 authors in 2 acts, separated by time and circumstance With an illuminating preface by Eva Hoffman and stunning new photographs by Diana Matar, City of Lions is a powerful and melancholy evocation of Ukraine in the twentieth century, with a special resonance for today. Lviv, Lwów, Lvov, Lemberg. Known by a variety of names, the City of Lions is now in western Ukraine. Situated in different countries during its history, it is a city located along the fault-lines of Europe's history. City of Lions presents two essays, written more than half a century apart - but united by one city. Józef Wittlin's lyrical paean to his Lwów, written in exile, is a deep cry of love and pain for his city, where most people he knew have fled or been killed. Philippe Sands' finely honed exploration of what has been lost and what remains interweaves a lawyer's love of evidence with the emotional heft of a descendant of Lviv.

The Last Colony
After the Second World War, new international rules heralded an age of human rights and self-determination. Supported by Britain, these unprecedented changes sought to end the scourge of colonialism. But how committed was Britain? In the 1960s, its colonial instinct ignited once more: a secret decision was taken to offer the US a base at Diego Garcia, one of the islands of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, create a new colony (the 'British Indian Ocean Territory') and deport the entire local population. One of those inhabitants was Liseby Elysé, twenty years old, newly married, expecting her first child. One suitcase, no pets, the British ordered, expelling her from the only home she had ever known. For four decades the government of Mauritius fought for the return of Chagos, and the past decade Philippe Sands has been intimately involved in the cases. In 2018 Chagos and colonialism finally reached the World Court in The Hague. As Mauritius and the entire African continent challenged British and American lawlessness, fourteen international judges faced a landmark decision: would they rule that Britain illegally detached Chagos from Mauritius? Would they open the door to Liseby Elysé and her fellow Chagossians returning home - or exile them forever? Taking us on a disturbing journey across international law, THE LAST COLONY illuminates the continuing horrors of colonial rule, the devastating impact of Britain's racist grip on its last colony in Africa, and the struggle for justice in the face of a crime against humanity. It is a tale about the making of modern international law and one woman's fight for justice, a courtroom drama and a personal journey that ends with a historic ruling.

Refugee Tales
Seventy years after the adoption of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UK is guilty of undermining the very principles of asylum, inhumanely detaining those seeking protection and ushering in sweeping changes that threaten to punish refugees at every turn. But the UK's immigration system is not alone in committing such breaches of human rights. The fourth volume of Refugee Tales explores our present international environment, combining author re-tellings with first-hand accounts of individuals who have been detained across the world. As the coronavirus pandemic defies borders--leaving those who are detained even more vulnerable--this collection shares stories spanning Canada, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and the UK, and calls for international insistence on a future without detention. Featuring a prologue by Baroness Shami Chakrabarti.
