In 1998 the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the
Protection of National Minorities entered into force. This study
evaluates how the standards of the Framework Convention function in
reality and whether the interests of minorities are best served by
this form of protection by the international community. The author
assesses the use of international principles on rights for
minorities in Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, three states with a
difficult socio-economic situation and large minority populations.
Two specific principles embodied in the Framework Convention are
focused upon. The first, the principle of non-discrimination, is
discussed with regard to the Roma minority in Slovakia, Romania and
Bulgaria, the Muslim minority in Bulgaria, and in relation to the
Benes Decrees affecting the Hungarians and German minority in
Slovakia. The second principle, protection of linguistic rights, is
discussed in relation to the Hungarian minority in Slovakia and
Romania and to the Roma minorities. Specific to this book: *

into force in 1998 * Looks specifically at the minorities of
