ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | This study is about the contribution of the first OSCE High commissioner on National Minorities, Mr. Max van der Stoel, to the protection and promotion of minority rights in Europe. His work constitutes a precedent in the life of the OSCE and, as such, it bears in it the potential to influence the future actions of the Organization. The author explores the High Commissioner's concept on minority protection in terms of international law. He further describes how he influenced state policies towards national minorities and assesses his impact on the way the OSCE perceives and protects minority rights in general. |
