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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.

| Description | Since 1945, the international community has developed and adopted an impressive number of international and regional documents in the field of human rights. Often the first step of standard setting is the adoption of a non-binding declaration with the aim of finding consensus on certain common minimum standards. Then the more difficult step of agreeing on a text of an international treaty (convention) follows which establishes binding obligations for the States parties under international law. After such a treaty enters into force, international monitoring bodies, if foreseen in the respective treaty, are to be established with the task of supervising the domestic implementation of these conventions. The most common monitoring procedures are the State reporting, the inter-State and the individual complaints procedures. This compilation contains more than 50 of the major international and regional documents with short annotations by the editors. The editors hope that this booklet will contribute to enhance the knowledge of human beings about their fundamental rights and freedoms under international olaw and the awareness of governments of their obligations under international human rights law. Such broad knowledge and awareness is the most important prerequisite that the standards developed ba international organizations will actually be put into practice. |
