Universal Minority Rights - A Commentary on the Jurisprudence of International Courts and Treaty Bodies (Hardcover, New)

The development of international standards for the protection of
minorities has been slow and fragmented. In the absence of a
comprehensive and universal binding set of rules, the development
of minority protection has been left to regional agreements and
judicial interpretation of wider human rights treaties. Universal
Minority Rights brings together, for the first time, the full set
of all regional and international jurisprudence from courts and
treaty bodies concerned with issues of minority rights.
The commentary is arranged around ten thematic areas of
investigation, including religious rights, education, cultural
rights, political participation and socio-economic opportunities.
Each substantive chapter offers an introduction to the issue at
hand and its special relevance to minority communities, a general
survey of legal standards addressing the issue, and an examination
of specific problems that are being tackled through legal standards
and judicial review. Each chapter concludes with an evaluation of
the contribution of the case-law reviewed to the development of
universal standards of protection.
Throughout, the commentary takes full account of international
treaties and their associated bodies, including the ICCPR, the
ICESCR, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to
National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, and the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination. In addition, the commentary analyzes the regional
standards that have developed through the Council of Europe and the
jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African Commission on
Human andPeople's Rights.
Through an exhaustive, comparative analysis of principles and
substantive rules, the commentary provides an invaluable reference
point for the development of minority protection.
