International Sources of National and Ethnic Minority Rights

In the past decades, the protection of national and ethnic minorities and the enforcement of their rights were championed by several international organizations. A series of legally binding documents, political resolutions or "simple" recommendations were adopted in various frameworks. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this compendium strives to present the most important documents and their relationship.

The collection covers for the first time in three languages (Hungarian, English and French) the minority rights related documents of the UN, the Council of Europe, OSCE and the EU.

As there is no generally accepted catalogue of the rights of national minorities either in international or in Community law, whenever reference is made to the rights of the national minorities, the question may arise whether such minority rights are considered in a broad or a narrow sense. The documents selected to be included in this compendium offer a hold and reference point to resolve this controversy.

The two editors, Katalin Balázs and Bálint Ódor are staff of the Hungarian National Assembly and are the authors of several monographs and books.
