This article describes the International legislation to protect the rights of ethnic minorities. All human beings are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection of the law against any discrimination and against any incitement to discrimination.
Discrimination between human beings on the grounds of race, colour or ethnic origin is an obstacle to friendly and peaceful relations among nations and is capable of disturbing peace and security among peoples and the harmony of persons living side by side even within one and the same State, the existence of racial barriers is repugnant to the ideals of any human society.
United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 20 November 1963 (General Assembly resolution 1904 (XVIII)) solemnly affirms the necessity of speedily eliminating racial discrimination throughout the world in all its forms and manifestations and of securing understanding of and respect for the dignity of the human person.
Racial discrimination means any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.
For the Council of Europe, both mainstream and minority communities must enjoy the same rights and equality before the law, and be able to preserve and develop their cultures, safeguard their religions, languages and traditions, and make their opinions heard.
World events are a constant reminder of the crucial purpose served by this mission. The Council of Europe takes care that these freedoms are protected through its Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, whose implementation rests with the Committee of Ministers and with an advisory committee of experts, as well as with the non-governmental organizations and the associations of minorities.
The 1994 Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities came into force on 1 February 1998. Although it is not the only instrument on the protection of minorities developed in the Council of Europe, it is certainly the most comprehensive document in its field (non-discrimination, effective equality, culture, education, linguistic freedoms, access to media, and participation in economic, cultural and social life).
The broad aims of the Convention are to ensure that the signatory states respect the rights of national minorities, undertaking to combat discrimination, promote equality, preserve and develop the culture and identity of national minorities, guarantee certain freedoms in relation to access to the media, minority languages and education and encourage the participation of national minorities in public life.
The Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities defines a national minority implicitly to include minorities possessing a territorial identity and a distinct cultural heritage. |
