Abstract

What is the role of ethno-cultural groups in human rights discourse? Under international human rights law, standards are unclear and ambivalent, while traditional analyses have often failed to elucidate and unpack the conceptual, legal, and policy complexities involved. In Ethno-Cultural Diversity and Human Rights , prominent experts chart new territory by addressing contested dimensions of the field. They include the impact of collective interests on rights discourse and nation-building, international law’s responses to group demands for decision-making authority, and concerns for immigration, intersectionality, and peacebuilding. Drawing from diverse scholarship in international law, legal and moral philosophy, and political science, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and practitioners of human rights, diversity, and conflict management.

Abstract

The Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities: A Commentary, edited by Rainer Hofmann, Tove H. Malloy and Detlev Rein,presents an updated article-by-article assessment of the monitoring of theConvention's implementation. The Convention was opened for signature in1995 and entered into force on 1 February 1998. Within a very short period oftime, it was ratified by 39 Council of Europe member states, and it constitutesthe first (and only) international treaty establishing legally bindingobligations concerning the rights of persons belonging to national minorities.In this volume, the monitoring of the Convention is assessed by eminentexperts in the field of minority protection. They survey the scope ofapplication as interpreted by the Advisory Committee during the first fourcycles of monitoring by analyzing its approach and offering their individualassessments of potential improvements. The volume thus updates andaugments previous assessments.
