This work explores the contribution that international law may make
to the resolution of culture conflicts - political disputes between
the members of different ethno-cultural groups - in democratic
States. International law recognises that persons belonging to
minorities have the right to enjoy their own culture and peoples
have the right to self-determination without detailing how these
principles are to be put into effect. The emergence of democracy as
a legal obligation of States permits the international community to
concern itself with both the procedure and substance of
'democratic' decisions concerning ethno-cultural groups. Democracy
is not to be understood simply as majority rule. Cultural conflicts
in democratic States must be resolved in a way that is either
acceptable or defensible and defeasible to all citizens, including
persons belonging to ethno-cultural minorities. Democracy,
Minorities and International Law examines the implications of this
recognition.
