bibliography and
further research
Selecting a bibliography of several thousand books and articles from tens of thousands of items constituting the literature relating to human rights since the Second World War poses obvious problems. Our focus here is Australian, but the discussion of human rights and the attempts to promote and extend them are part of a great international enterprise. Much of our discussion in Australia and even many of our legislative Acts have been directly inspired or informed by developments abroad and in the United States. At the same time, quite a number of Australians have been actively engaged in the international debate, publishing not only at home but overseas, influencing discussion far beyond our shores and in turn being influenced by such discussions when they write in or on specifically Australian contexts. Nor do overseas writers fail to notice or take a specific interest in Australian developments and discussion. A number of books and articles on human rights and related issues written in Australia have been widely used as texts in universities abroad, perhaps earlier and for some time more systematically than in Australia itself. Our procedure has been to select items, published at home or abroad, which an Australian dealing with that topic should know or find especially useful; in the process, we have shown some bias toward items produced in Australia or written by Australians, and we have not included the classical pronouncements and discussions of past centuries or literature that deals with problems of purely local interest unless the local interest is our own. We have also, as will be mentioned below, concentrated on areas especially commended for attention in the legislative Acts that established the Australian Human Rights Commission.
Arranging the bibliography under suitable and helpful headings is an even greater problem. Problems about human rights range from the very general — whether such rights exist, what arguments can be used to show that they do, how their nature and number can be determined — to the very specific: problems of women, Aborigines, children, disabled persons, conflicts between one proclaimed right and another, the tensions between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome, the extent to which social and economic rights, or the notion of equality, require a total reexamination and restructuring of society as a whole, and whether such conscious restructuring is possible. In short, human rights can and do involve examination of the whole of human existence. Our procedure has been to list items that put the question of human rights or of a particular right in the foreground of discussion. We have had to make much more difficult decisions in choosing the primary headings or sub-headings under which items are listed. Not only do articles or books raise and discuss more than one issue at once but issues and headings overlap, making it impossible to discuss one without considering the other. We have avoided, for reasons of economy of space, repeating items under heading after heading because they touch on all of them and have generally placed the item under the heading or headings to which it makes the most sustained or, in our opinion, most important or useful contribution.
The Bibliography' is overwhelmingly a bibliography of material published in the English language, because such material is more accessible to the Australian reader and generally, though by no means always, more relevant to Australian political and legal
structures and traditions. There is much material in other languages of great interest, and we have often regretted the impossibility of also surveying it for a bibliography of appropriate size. From time to time, however, because of the special importance of UN and Unesco publications in this field, we have included them even where they have been published, as they often are, in French. In our Introductory Survey, without making specific reference to them, we have taken some account of discussions and positions published in Chinese, German and Russian, as well as French.
The system of classification adopted for the Bibliography is not original; it can be traced back at least as far as Aristotle. It involves classifying things into their genus, species, sub-species, etc. The problem with a taxonomy that works in this way is the danger of forcing onto its subject-matter an order and system that the subject matter itself does not possess. That danger is certainly present in our method of classifying human rights: determining what human rights there are, and what their 'shape' is, are hotly disputed matters. To avoid getting embroiled in or pronouncing upon philosophical issues of this sort under the pretence of merely classifying, it seemed best to adopt and adapt the taxonomy of rights implicit in the UN conventions, covenants and declarations, for these at least represent some sort of shared understanding about what human rights there are, from which discussion can then take off.
With that aim in view, the Bibliography divides the areas of human rights into four main categories which broadly coincide with the major UN instruments:
1) Civil and Political Rights
2) Social, Economic and Cultural Rights
3) Discrimination on Various Grounds
4) Rights of Special Groups of Persons
For our purposes, we have taken these to be an exhaustive set of categories. Whether or not they are also mutually exclusive is problematic. Indeed, the problem of conflict and overlap between rights is a critical issue that constantly recurs in the discussion of human rights. Some of the more important conflicts and lacunae are taken up in the Introductory Survey that precedes this Bibliography.
As already intimated, each of the bibliographic categories used below is associated with a major UN initiative on human rights. In drawing up the Bibliography, we have shown stronger interest in the covenants and declarations that appear as schedules to the (Australian) Human Rights Commission Act and the Racial Discrimination Act and are thus especially commended for the Commission's attention. These are:
• The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
• The Declaration of the Rights of the Child
• The Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons
• The Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Persons
• The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination
This accounts for the fact that the rights of children, of disabled and mentally retarded persons, of prisoners and of immigrants and aliens, are included in the 'Rights of Special Groups' division of the Bibliography, while the equally important rights of groups such as women and Aborigines have been treated as major sub-headings within the general topic of 'Discrimination', in the context of which they are normally discussed.
The idea of singling out particular groups of persons as having rights peculiar to that group has seemed to some writers cited in this Bibliography as inimical to the idea of human rights as rights that accrue to people as human beings. A rejoinder would be that such groups are not claiming special rights but special procedures for ensuring that they get rights which others already have. This is a contentious issue and one on which a bibliography should try to avoid making pronouncements. We would ask the reader, therefore, not to construe a bibliographic decision as a moral judgment or theoretical claim. We do not imply, through our method of classification of the literature, that there

are or are not rights that accrue to special groups of persons as opposed to human beings generally.
In the area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, we have had to be rather more selective. The provisions of the Covenant, at least potentially, take in a massive amount of literature. Indeed, almost everything that counts as a social problem could be brought within its terms, as could the whole of industrial law and statutory regulations of working conditions. It has seemed quite impossible to include in this bibliography even a select guide to literature on freedom and satisfaction in work; on the role of trade unions in protecting and promoting workers' rights, whether human or specific; or on general social and cultural development and satisfaction. We have put some special stress on material that deals directly with the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, on trade union rights as an important topic coming under the heading of Freedom of Association, and on the new International Economic Order and multiculturalism as questions that have had a great deal of discussion in Australia and are of great concern to it.
Civil and Political Rights present both advantages and disadvantages to a bibliographer. The advantage is that these rights have been talked about for a very long time. There is a history, a tradition, so that the rights and points of conflict and dispute have a 'shape'. Also, the central rights in the UN Covenant have been incorporated into various constitutions and domestic laws. But the obvious disadvantage is that the amount of material is enormous. The quality of material is also most uneven. We have therefore attempted to concentrate on those areas and that literature most likely to be relevant in Australia.
We have, then, divided up each of these major categories into the major rights or major sorts of discrimination that fall under them. Thus we have split up Discrimination into Sex Discrimination, etc. Then, under each of these subjects, we have once again isolated major issues or points of contention. These issues are not meant to be exhaustive but they are critical 'nerve-points' or problem areas which have attracted attention in the literature. The basic idea has been to restrict ourselves to these three levels of specificity. The different levels have been indicated in the following way:
Discrimination level 1
Affirmative action level 2
Preferential hiring level 3
Books and articles have been categorised according to their subject-matter. If an author deals with human rights generally, then the article or book will fall under the heading Human rights — general. If his or her subject-matter is discrimination in general, then the item will appear under Discrimination. If the author is dealing with the more particular topic of racial discrimination, then the book or article will be categorised under Racial discrimination (Aborigines, indigenous peoples and minorities). In
case the book or article deals with one or more than one of the specific issues that we have isolated, it will fall under the that heading or those headings. If the author is writing on Aboriginal land rights, for example, then the item will appear under that heading.
Cross references (`See also') attempt to deal with the problem of overlap and are collected together in the Synoptic Table of Human Rights immediately following; so are, where appropriate, lists of 'Related issues'. In many cases, these issues will not have been dealt with directly in the material we have collected. That would have made the Bibliography impossibly large, but the lists of related issues, we trust, will still be of use to students of human rights who want to read further and to those who simply want some appreciation of the topography of a very complex landscape.

An excellent brief historical-philosophical introduction to the study of human rights. Cranston has chapters on the philosophical status of rights and the antecedents of human rights. He also briefly surveys the history of the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to property. The final three chapters deal with the UN and its international rights instruments. Cranston puts forward important doubts about the efficacy and propriety of these measures. His critique of social, cultural and economic rights has provoked considerable discussion. The last 83 pages reproduce the UN instruments and the European Convention.

The author comprehensively surveys all international and regional charters dealing with human rights, in a form designed for use by practitioners, teachers and students. A narrative part introduces readers by giving an historical and juridical background and general overview of the machinery. Then the forty odd different rights are considered one by one. In each case the relevant texts in the instruments are set out and explained and cross-referenced. Some 1000 cases are considered in the course of exposition. Table B at the back of the book comprehensively lists cases and refers back to the body of the text. The author's achievement is considerable. For the first time we have a significant attempt to integrate the plethora of human right instruments into a comprehensive code.

This book by a leading political scientist is a theoretical study, but its factual basis will also be interesting for international lawyers and those interested in how human rights provisions work. The author claims that 'unless the protection of human rights is approached in the functional context, nothing much can be expected from the United Nations or international
law. . . The test of functional logic is provided by the only aspect of international human rights machinery sufficiently developed to provide adequate materials: the ILO'. The author uses freedom of association as a case study.
JENKS, C. W. Human Rights and International Labour Standards. London, Stevens; New York, Praeger, 1960. Pp. xvi + 159.
Very sound, concise study of the protection of human rights by the formulation and application of international labour standards. The main motif of the discussion is the challenging task of reconciliation on the one hand, of civil liberties with social discipline, on the other, reconciliation of the world order with the increasing aspirations and widely divergent interests of nation states. The results of the conventions on freedom from forced labour, freedom of association for trade unions, and freedom from discrimination in respect of employment are discussed. Index, list of cases and international instruments.

Possibly the most important contribution to legal philosophy in the last decade. Dworkin advances the thesis that the recognition and enforcement of political rights is an intrinsic function of adjudication. Using the U.S. Supreme Court as a model Dworkin defends the idea of rights as 'trumps' over collective aims. He also defends the shift towards egalitarian values, arguing that the most fundamental right is the right to participate in decision-making (a due process right).

This book is possibly the most important book on political philosophy and ethics to appear in recent years. Rawls attempts to make out a case for a liberal welfare state. But in the course of doing so he touches on a great many areas to do with rights. The book contains an important discussion of civil disobedience and of liberties in general. Rawls also has made due process and participatory rights central to his very concept of justice.

ABRAHAM, HENRY J. Freedom and the Court. 4th edn. New York, University Press, 1982. Pp. xvi + 443. ISBN 0 19 502960 7.
This book is a study of Civil Rights and Liberties under the U. S. Constitution as interpreted
by the Supreme Court. It is easily the best and most readable introduction to what is a very complex legal area. The success of the book can be judged from the fact that since it was first published in 1967, it has run through four editions. Chapter III deals with the perplexing problem for any federation of the applicability of the Federal Bill of Rights to the States. Chapter IV traces the development of the requirements of 'due process of law'. Chapter V deals with Freedom of Expression, and Chapter VI with the free exercise of religion and the separation of Church and State. Chapter VII deals with 'Equal Protection' and problems of racial and sexual discrimination. The book includes a useful Bibliographic Note (pp. 403-40) and sets out the amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights, in an Appendix. Good indexes.

The thirtieth series of the Hamlyn lectures. Anderson argues that the 'arbiter' in balancing law and liberty must be justice. He accepts John Rawls' notion that justice includes the maximization of basic liberties for everyone. Along the way he advocates the value of a bill of rights, and the rule of law in improving race relations.

An excellent compendium of case excerpts, statutes and reports together with commentary. The authors' notes also contain valuable references. The book covers most of the traditional areas of civil liberties in the U.K. — police powers, public order, freedom of expression (censorship, contempt of court, national security), freedom of religion. As well, the book covers privacy, racial discrimination, and prisoners' rights. One important aspect of the book is the attention it pays to the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights and the question of a domestic bill for U.K.

Defines 'citizen's rights' as what is left over after police, government instrumentalities, local councils and various professional hierarchies have exhausted their range of options. Main beneficiaries of our civil law are people who do not need protection and the main victims are Aborigines, children, unskilled migrants, prisoners, women and mental patients. Argues that there is a strong case for the passage of Human Rights and Freedom of Information Bills.

This is still the best general work on Civil Liberties and the law in Australia. In twenty-four chapters the authors give a readable critique of the major civil liberties issues: Police Powers, Demonstrations, Freedom of Movement, Obscenity and Censorship, Contempt, Freedom of Information, Freedom of Belief, and a discussion of the viability of a Constitutional Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, the discussions are now somewhat dated.

Volume I deals with freedom of speech, assembly, association and the amendments dealing with the rights to vote and participate in government. Volume II considers 'equality before the law' and the complex law on discrimination. The notes and commentaries that accompany the cases provide an exhaustive guide to U.S. scholarships on Constituitional Rights.

This is an incisive study of many difficult areas of constitutional theory that impinge on the problem of constitutional entrenchment of rights — the separation of powers and the relationship between judges and legislators. Chapters VI to IX deal with Civil Rights. Marshall brings to bear a profound knowledge of practice and close analytical skill. The result is a penetrating analysis of Equality, Freedom of Speech and Assembly and Civil Disobedience. The book takes account of U.S. and U.K. developments and considers these in the context of legal, moral and political philosophy.

STREET, H. Freedom, the Individual and the Law. 5th edn. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1982. Pp. 352. ISBN 0 1402 0646 9.
This is one of the best introductions to civil rights in U. K. and has considerable relevance to the position in Australia. Chapters 3-7 deal with the various aspects of freedom of expression. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with police powers and freedom of assembly. Other rights singled out for discussion are freedom of religion, freedom of movement. There are also chapters on discrimination, freedom to work and protection against private power. Street's study is essentially a legal study but is pitched at a level that makes it readily understandable for the non-lawyer.

In this study the author examines the philosophical debate between those who take life to be valuable in itself and those who see its value as a vehicle for other goods. He examines the issue of euthanasia and treatment of the dying. There is also an important discussion of the desirability of introducing 'rights' into pragmatic areas of medical treatment. In the final part
of the study the author examines specific issues: the terminally ill, incompetent patients, defective newborns, allocation of scarce medical resources, living will legislation. Excellent notes for reference purposes and bibliography (pp. 219-24).

A path-breaking study by a leading expert on criminal law in the U. K. Williams considers various areas to do with the way law impinges on taking or preserving life: contraception, sterilization, abortion, suicide, euthanasia. His general thesis is that the 'sanctity of life' principle is a religious principle that was taken into the criminal law. Its credentials need to be reappraised. The study represents a readable mix of the descriptive and the critical.

In this working paper the commission examines the criminal law and its implications for medical practitioners — particularly the principle that patients must consent to treatment. The position in Canada closely parallels that in Australia and U. K. The commission suggests that the criminal law should be changed to include a specific offence of wrongful administration of treatment.

MILLER, A. R. The Assault on Privacy: Computers, Data Banks and Dossiers. Ann Arbor, University of Michigan Press, 1971. Pp. xiv + 333. ISBN 0 472 65500 O.
The author sketches technological advances and their impact on privacy. Then in two pivotal chapters (`The Law Relating to Privacy' and 'The Quest for a New Legal Framework') he argues that traditional legal concepts and remedies are not adequate and cannot be adapted to handle the problems created by computer technology. The latter part of the book advocates administrative regulation as a means of control and protection, and goes some way toward describing the nature of such intervention.

The author sets out to answer the question: 'How was it that the Americans, first through their courts, and later through their legislatures, developed legal sanctions against invasion of privacy while the British through either their courts or their legislature did not?' lathe course of answering this question the author considers judicial technique, precedents on privacy from nineteenth century to the present day, and the growing urgency of attemps to legislate privacy protection measures. This includes studies of the Lyon and Walden Bills and the Younger Committee.
PROSSER, W. L. 'Privacy'. (1960) 48 California Law Review, 383-423.
A critical article on U. S. privacy law. The author argues that wrongful invasion of privacy is not one tort but four different torts protecting four different interests: (1) Intrusion upon the plaintiff's seclusion or solitude, or into his private affairs; (2) Public disclosure of embarrassing facts; (3) Publicity that places the plaintiff in a 'false light' in the public eye; and (4) Appropriation for the defendant's advantage, of the plaintiff's name or likeness.

A lucid study of constraints on the freedom of assembly in the U.K. A fine mix of the critical and the descriptive. The author considers police powers and executive discretion and then goes on to consider offences against public order — including incitement and sedition, riot, rout, unlawful assembly, as well as the miscellany of lesser offences that can be used by the authorities. Now somewhat dated, this is still an important seminal study.

This is a study of the First Amendment guarantee of the right to peaceable assembly and of the judicially created right of association. Noting that the right of association has received less attention than other First Amendment rights, Abernathy argues that it is clearly a right cognate to the right of assembly even though it is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution and examines such aspects as the intention of the framers and assemblies in streets and parks.

This book by a leading political scientist is a theoretical study, but its factual basis may be interesting for practitioners. The author claims that 'unless the protection of human rights is approached in the functional context, nothing much can be expected from the United Nations or international law (. . .). The test of functional logic is provided by the only aspect of international human rights machinery sufficiently developed to provide adequate materials: the ILO'. The author uses freedom of association as a case study.

This is the best and most comprehensive recent study of freedom of speech in the U. S. The author looks at points where free speech conflicts with other rights and liberties and values — privacy, fair trial, national security, personal security etc. The principles which he argues should guide in such conflicts represent a re-vamping of the classical liberal conception of a 'free marketplace of ideas'. Good footnotes referring to U. S. court decisions, statutes etc.

In this analysis of the meaning of freedom of speech in the years from the World War I Armistice to the inauguration of Roosevelt, Murphy suggests that the idea of liberty was cast largely in terms of freedom of expression and was one of the major instruments for redefining social relationships. Winner of the American Bar Association's 1972 Gavel Award, this work examines the attempts of those who were shocked by governmental restrictions during World War Ito broaden the scope of constitutional protection of free expression, their opponents, and their failures, frustrations and successes.

BARRON, JEROME A. Freedom of the Press For Whom?: The Right of Access to Mass Media. Bloomington, Indiana University Press, 1973. Pp. xv + 368. ISBN 0 253 12840 4.
The author argues that . . in the era of mass communication, the words of the solitary speaker or the lonely writer. . . have little impact unless they are broadcast through the great engines of public opinion — radio, television and the press'. He goes on to advocate an interpretation of freedom of the press that includes the facilitation of access to the media, and examines the extent of access rights in the U. S. A.
BARRON, JEROME A. Public Rights and Private Press. Toronto, Butterworths, 1981. Pp. xii + 204. ISBN 0 409 81295 1.
The author argues that 'the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment. . . cannot be thought to insulate all press conduct from review and responsibility for harm inflicted'. He considers recent developments in the U. S. A., particularly key Supreme Court decisions, and discusses the importance of curbing monopolistic tendencies and preserving a right of access to the press.

'We are gradually evolving in the late twentieth century an altered view of the place of communication and of cultural activity in general within society. Whereas traditionally these were seen as a congeries of essentially private acts . . . we are coming now to realize that the whole panoply of communication media are inexorably public institutions dependent upon decisions taken by or on behalf of society as a whole.' In a series of fifteen essays the author attempts to trace out this thesis in various areas of U. K. law, politics and society.

WILLIAMS, D. G. T. 'Official Secrecy and the Courts', in P. R. Glazerbrook (ed.), Reshaping the Criminal Law. London, Stevens, 1978, pp. 154-73.
The author argues that the critical problem with freedom of information is who will decide whether or not information should be made available. He argues that the courts, as open and
public tribunals with a facility for formulating general rules, are the most appropriate arbitrators. Reviews the problems of Official Secrets Act (U. K.). Also argues that a Freedom of Information Act will not solve problems of secrecy — there is a need for a general right of access to government information which would change the onus of proof.

This four-volume work represents part of the Florence Access-to-Justice Project. The first volume is a world survey of the subject by a series of national reporters (Australia's Reporter is G. D. S. Taylor). There are 23 countries represented from a variety of political persuasions. Volume 2 looks at a variety of solutions that have been adopted to facilitate 'access': mediation and conciliation; improving court procedures; small claims and consumer problems; methods of protecting the public interest. There are a series of detailed studies of specific institutions. Volume 3 involves 'applied comparative law' — with what morals can be drawn from the practice of other legal systems in quite different social and cultural settings. Volume 4 includes anthropological studies of dispute settlement. The vast amount of material of a consistently high quality makes these books a valuable resource for those concerned with problems in the administration of justice.

In the first half of the book using empirical data the authors argue that 'identification and final disposition [of weak cases] are unnecessarily delayed. . . Cases perish by slow torture when what is required is a swift and early application of the executioner's axe'. The second part of the book shows the central importance of pre-trial interrogation by the police in determining the ultimate result of the case.

This represents an important contribution to grappling with theoretical aspects of the concept of 'due process'. The twelve essays are very much addressed to the U. S. context, but the analyses can be carried over into Anglo-Australian areas as is shown by Geoffery Marshall's lucid essay 'Due Process in England'. Miller's essay gives an historical description of the development of due process in U. S. Part II of the collection contains six essays that examine the connection between due process and principles of morality. These essays are written by lawyers and philosophers. Part III of the collection considers due process and democratic majority rule. The introduction by Pennock provides a rich survey of the jurisprudence of due process.
POLLOCK, SETON. Legal Aid — The First Twenty-Five Years. London, Oyez, 1975. Pp. xiii + 194.
The author was for many years the Secretary of the Law Society for Legal Aid. He surveys the development of what he considers is . . without question, the most comprehensive and effective of the Legal Aid schemes to be found anywhere in the world'. The central argument
of the book is that legal aid should establish equality before the law and not merely reduce inequalities. In this light he is also critical of the system in his discussion of 'Controversial Issues'.

In Walker-Flynn, the question was whether the plaintiff was entitled to be compensated for the pain and suffering that she would face during another pregnancy. Her birth canal had been injured in a car accident which was the defendant's fault. So any pregnancy in the future would have to be delivered by caesarean section. She was Roman Catholic and was not prepared to use contraception. If she used contraceptives, she would not get pregnant, and so not have the pain and suffering of a caesarean section. The Court held that the defendant had to take the plaintiff as he found her.

FRANKLIN, JOHN HOPE. Racial Equality in America. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1976.
Originally delivered as the 1976 Jefferson Lecture for the National Endowment for the Humanities, this work examines the American tradition of inequality. Franklin deals with the revolutionary era and the willingness of that generation to ignore racial equality; he also finds the devotion of abolitionists to equality shallow. He suggests that twentieth-century Americans still view equality as divisible and argues that the task facing the present generation is to view equality as indivisible.

The second section considers the law against racial discrimination in employment set against the facts of disadvantage suffered by members of ethnic minorities. The third section surveys the methods and problems of enforcement.

The keynote address by Barrie Pittock, 'Racism in Australia — an introductory perspective', has been omitted from the report. Without it, the report seems to lack relevance and point because the other papers are quite theoretical in their approach and do not reach the level of practicality this conference seemed to require. Not a great deal that is new or useful can be learned, from this report, on racism in Australia.

They provide new facts and new ways of looking at those facts which enhance our general understanding of Aboriginal affairs.
BERRY, MARY FRANCES. Black Resistance/White Law: A History of Constitutional Racism in America. New York, Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971.
This is an analysis of the use and abuse of constitutional theory and practice to repress actively and to refuse national protection to blacks. The author argues that the theory of federalism coupled with the use, the threat to use, and the failure to use national military power legally sanctioned racial oppression and that law has been an instrument for maintaining a racist status quo.

Pp. 30. ISBN 0 642 02758 7.
The purpose of this study was to establish the persistence of discrimination in Townsville against Aboriginal and Islander people. The researchers found that the people are discriminated against in employment, in housing and in hotels. These facts were obtained by sampling and by having an Aboriginal and a white (control) person make identical requests of the respondent. To counteract the charge that Aborigines will exaggerate their problems in self-reports, three field studies were also conducted which corroborated the samplings. Having proved their point, the researchers make some recommendations towards eliminating discrimination in these fields, stressing that these approaches should be uniform.

This is an attempt to state some of the general features of Aboriginal society and to show how they are interrelated. The author has drawn examples from forty people spread throughout Australia. The attempt at generalising is done successfully, within the restrictions the author has himself laid down. Particularly effective are the two chapters on The world-creative powers', which give not only the religious viewpoints of Aborigines but also the philosophical basis for their attitudes to life and society.

The major section of the book examines concepts of race and racism, the relationship between race and intelligence, and race and identity. The remainder of the book relates these concepts to the situation of Aborigines in Australia. One chapter, that on race, psychology and intelligence, is controversial because it lends some support to Jensen's genetic theories of racial difference in intelligence.

This book is a valuable compilation of the proceedings of a conference held in 1973 at the University of New South Wales. At the conference, Aborigines and non-Aborigines discussed the question of human rights and the law as it relates to Aborigines. Important information can be found on a number of topics, including discrimination, Queensland legislation, Aborigines and the court system, legal aid, land rights, and Aborigines in Australian society.

This book scrutinises the part played by the law in determining the position of Aborigines and
Torres Strait Islanders in Queensland. It analyses the conflicting philosophies of both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments. The author succeeds in demonstrating that the Australian Government could be answerable to the international community for violating the relevant international documents which it has ratified.

Asserts that white racism is 'part of the white Australian heritage'; the society has been built upon racism with racist assumptions built into its very fabric. Pittock tries to see the situation from the black point of view. He has succeeded in compiling a good, concise summary of race relations in Australia, with some reference to the non-European immigrants. Some of the reasons behind the conflict are explained.
PITTOCK, A. BARRIE. Toward a Multi-racial Society: the 1969 James Backhouse Lecture. Sydney, The Religious Society of Friends, 1969. Pp. 36.
This short document outlines the racism inherent in Australian society. Pittock defines racism and provides examples of its Australian manifestations. He condemns assimilation, as an alternative to segregation, as being equally racist. Inevitably Australia will become increasingly multi-racial. A solution is for Australians to recognise and accept a plural society and to foster 'a growing recognition of the values and merits of diverse traditions and cultures'.

ROWLEY, C. D. The Destruction of Aboriginal Society. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. 430. ISBN 0 14 021452 6.
Rowley, in his first volume, provides the essential historical background on a comprehensive scale of the frontier clash between white settlers and Aborigines. The situation and its aftermath are examined in each State, and is followed by the Commonwealth's search for an Aboriginal policy from 1934-1948. A detailed and scholarly study.

ROWLEY, C. D. Outcasts in White Australia. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. 472. ISBN 0 7081 0624 2.
The second of three volumes dealing with Aboriginal policy and practice, in which Rowley looks at the situation of Aborigines in the closely settled areas of Australia — some on reserves, some living on the fringes of rural communities and some in the larger cities. The content is exhaustive. Rowley and his research team have taken great care to trace all relevant information so that this volume, with the other two, forms a valuable and a reliable information source.
ROWLEY, C. D. The Remote Aborigines. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1972. Pp. x + 379. ISBN 0 7081 0625 O.
In the last of the trilogy devoted to Aboriginal policy and practices, Rowley focuses on those areas to the north and central regions of Australia — the areas he terms 'colonial Australia'. Here the Aborigines live on reserves and properties, and cling to what they can of their traditional cultures. With meticulous care for detail, he discusses the effects of mining developments in W.A., N.T. and Qld, claims for land rights, and conditions of employment and wages. In his conclusion, Rowley strongly urges non-Aborigines to develop an appreciation of those things that Aboriginal societies have to offer us all.

This study is limited to just three of the Australian States. It omits examination of the relations
between Aborigines and the criminal law in Queensland and the Northern Territory which would each constitute a separate major study. Nevertheless such studies need to be done to complete the picture. Eggleston's treatment is historical and does not take into account changes in the law after 1976. However, granting these strictures, the information presented, its organisation and the author's balanced evaluations of it make this a valuable contribution to
our growing knowledge of the effects of the criminal procedures on Aborigines. Particularly commended are the chapters on 'Special legislation' and 'Recognition of tribal law'.

This case is important because Mr Justice Wells decided that police officers, when interrogating tribal Aborigines, should follow instructions contained in a police circular, and that failure to do so may result in the exclusion of any confession. Mr Justice Wells also held the view that when sentencing tribal Aborigines for offences against tribal law, tribal justice should be reinforced, not replaced by, European conceptions of justice.

There are several major findings of this study. One is that in ten N.S.W. towns with high Aboriginal populations, Aborigines charged with minor offences in public places greatly outnumber non-Aborigines. The behaviour resulting in the charges was in the main of a trivial nature, the majority of offences involving the use of unseemly words. The study showed that penalties, too, have a more severe impact on Aboriginal people. An appreciable number of those convicted and fined in the 10 towns in this study went to jail rather than pay the fine.

Aboriginal Land Rights: Action Booklet. Redfern, N.S.W., Aboriginal Land Rights Campaign, 1976. Pp. 23.
In August 1976 a National Aboriginal Land Rights Conference met in Sydney. The aim was to study the implications of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Bill, 1976 and to determine what action needed to be taken to oppose unacceptable aspects of the Bill. This action handbook sets out the grounds for opposition and the reasons underlying it. With land rights an important issue at present for any Aborigines, this booklet is a useful statement of some of the issues involved.

The author argues that the Bill can be seen as an attempt to drive a wedge between traditionally oriented Aborigines in the Territory and other Aboriginal groups, and that the government has acceded to pressure from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly and Mining and Pastoral interests.

A great deal of work has gone into this attempt to document the basis for land claims in N.S.W. The Aboriginal people on some of the twelve reserves visited by three Aborigines and the writer express their concepts of their rights and their needs in relation to land. Also of great value are the two sections dealing with the position of Aboriginal land claims with respect to land. Although not stated, it is evident that the material was prepared prior to 1972 which immediately dates some of it — for example the section titled 'Current N.S.W. Government Policy towards Aboriginal Reserves'. There remains, however, much that is useful and, as the author intended, it will provide N.S.W. Aborigines with an information resource about land claims. There are a number of annoying printing errors in the text.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the subject of race prejudice consisting of a large collection of papers by experts in the field. Prejudice and Xenophobia (vol. 1) looks at the nature of race and racism and analyses the Australian situation mainly in terms of the migrant population. Black versus White (vol. 2) deals with the nation's treatment of Aborigines particularly the parameters of the conflict, the law, politics, economics and education. The third volume, Colonialism, moves into the international sphere and is concerned with Australia and the Empire, Papua New Guinea and Africa. An important collection of papers.

The human right discussed here is the 'right of women to protection of dignity and honour as well as protection against rape during armed conflict'. A conclusion is drawn that the right of women to their dignity and honour is a fundamental, substantive, legal right. In time of war women retain their right to dignity and honour. Rape of women is a negation of such a right. States are committed to defend this right irrespective of whether a war is just or unjust.

In this book, the author questions the wisdom and equality of the policy of affirmative action which favours members of discriminated against groups in admissions and hiring. He argues that such policy does not insure fair treatment of individuals or of all ethnic groups. The imposition of 'group-consciousness' threatens to overrun the principle of fairness to the individual citizen which was central to the idea of justice in America. A stimulating book.

It is argued in this paper that welfare for the poor is, by definition, class welfare. The social control function of welfare services has meant class control of Aborigines and also racial control, based on the belief of racial superiority. It is argued that positive discrimination towards Aborigines is not to be regarded as 'favours' but rather as a partial compensation for the neglect rendered in the past. This booklet, whilst it offers interesting information on the nature of social welfare services, is disappointing because the arguments are not cogent.

In this article the effects of economic self-interest and stratification beliefs on attitudes toward affirmative action programs held by whites are examined. Using data from a recent national survey, the authors find that at present direct and indirect competitive self-interest significantly shape white opposition to these programs. Stronger predictors of opposition, however, are the perceived egalitarian consequences of affirmative action programs, and the
general denial of unequal opportunity. Some suggestions for needed further research are offered, and the implications of their findings for social policy and for understanding the current racial climate in the United States are discussed.

discriminations. In this article, the question of whether emphasis on the concept 'equality' has produced aspects of freedoms and rights that are not 'right' is examined.

This thesis deals with the American debates surrounding racial integration in schools and programs giving preferential admission to universities. The author tries to determine whether, and if so to what extent, race might be considered as a criterion in the distribution of educational benefits. He argues that values other than equality are involved and are largely responsible for the ferocity with which these programs are debated in the United States. The author identifies and analyses these underlying values in so far as they are relevant to understand better the relevant Supreme Court decisions. There is a comprehensive bibliography.

Although concluding that the fate of preferential admission programs will not be determined by courts and constitutional law but by legislators and financial supporters of educational institutions, this article discusses some of the constitutional issues that have been raised by such programs. Three possible judicial reactions to the question of constitutionality are examined: a holding that racially based classifications are unconsitutional per se, employment of the rational test or use of the compelling interest test.

Writers from the fields of law, education, psychology and government maintain several focal points in papers on child advocacy. Central to their arguments is acknowledgement of the child as an individual to be respected. Other focal points are the articulation of what the rights of children should be from a humanistic as well as a legalistic perspective, and the consideration of the guarantee of children's rights.

This is an excellent article both as an analysis and critique of prisoners' rights in U.K. The author argues: 'The theoretical climate has changed. It is now appropriate to think in terms of what restrictions are necessary to fulfill the prescribed purposes of imprisonment . . . A prisoner need not justify his claim to a particular right. . there would be an assumption of liberty within the prison system. The theory of "prisoner's rights" would be replaced by one of "state justification": A feature of the discussion is its discussion of the European Convention of Human Rights and the Golder Case.

The author attempts to set out a 'jurisprudence of imprisonment'. In so doing he develops the view that the rehabilitative ideal is flawed and imprisonment is essentially retributive or a deterrent. On the other hand the author criticizes the 'over reach' of the criminal law and attempts to mete out more severe sentences to 'dangerous' offenders. He argues that in the present state of the art we cannot predict future behaviour or the effect of sanctions on future behaviour.

This booklet tries to give an answer to the question: why do politicians promote multiculturalism? The author argues that multiculturalism cannot be seen as the result of migrants becoming more politically aware and organising to pursue their common interests and that political parties are the initiators of the new policies. They adopt this new policy as a way of buying votes.
