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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | One of the central policy challenges of the Kosovo refugee crisis was to persuade neighbouring Macedonia to admit a massive influx of refugees that the government initially rejected. The eventual solution was based on a 'burden-sharing' scheme involving the transfer of refugees to other countries. Human rights activists criticized the establishment of sharing as a pre-condition because they believed that such a compromise on the principle of unconditional asylum would further accelerate the restrictive policies of states towards refugees. Others argued that the Macedonian position was a political fact that had to be recognized and that a pragmatic response was necessary to avert a humanitarian disaster at the border. These two approaches clashed as states and international organizations tried to deal with the emergency. The article proposes a third approach that in some measure reconciles the opposing camps. |
