A Popular Guide to Minority Rights

Dr. Kly is a respected expert on minority rights and international law. This is an excellent book about international law at it applies to all national minorities including African Americans. It should be obvious that this book concerns all minorities, particularly those who wish to protect their culture. It should also be obvious that while Dr. Kly is simply stating the rules of international law in relation to minorities, he does not attempt to say what African Americans and their government might wish to achieve, or which international legal options they might wish to pursue. This book simply states the international legal options available to all national minorities including African Americans, if they wish to consider themselvse as a national minority for international legal protection.

The title of the book gives no clue of what it is about! Kly wants *non-territorial* ethnic autonomy and reparations for slavery, enforced by the UN. Existing United Nations documents would support this, according to Kly.As I understand it, Kly advocates a black homeland PLUS portable ethnic rights. For example, if a black is accused of a crime outside of his homeland he could not be tried in the community he victimized, but only in a separate black criminal justice system.It's not clear (as best I recall) whether or not Kly would grant the same rights to whites that he advocates for blacks.
