Translations
The following five texts are my translations into English of short extracts taken from difficult to find texts on a few key topics explored in After “Rwanda.” These should be seen as translations of texts falling under Article 5(3)(d) of the EU Copyright Directive on “quotations.” The thumbnails on the left give you either the text in the original or the publisher’s web site (if available).
