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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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

| Description | With a focus on developments following the end of the cold war, this publication, the first in the ECMI/Council of Europe Handbook on Minority Issues series, offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the issue of minorities in international law. Aspects covered in separate chapters include: the definition of minority; legal protection of minorities as developed by the Council of Europe, the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the European Union; as well as minorities and self-determination. A good deal of practice is considered, including the jurisprudence of judicial and quasi-judicial bodies such as the Council of Europe's European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Committee. Addressing many central issues of topical concern, the book will be of interest to human rights scholars, students of international law and international relations, non-governmental organizations and other institutions involved in minority issues. |
