Every year, millions of people are seeking protection from countries other than their own for fear of being tortured, persecuted or killed.

European Company Law
Stefan Grundmann
European company law, over the last five years, has developed thoroughly: This book discusses the EC law first, with all the instruments through which it is transposed into the national law systems. However, where no such EC law exists, a comparative law discussion fills in the gaps. The whole organism of (limited liability) company law is thus covered.

Post-Conflict Housing Restitution
Antoine Buyse
The loss of one’s house is often one of the most dramatic personal consequences of armed conflict. In fragile post-conflict societies such a loss does not only cause a flow of refugees and other displaced persons, but it can also be a source of renewed conflict. Restitution of housing could help to solve these problems and thus help to attain peace and to rebuild the rule of law. This study focuses on the legal aspects of restitution.
