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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 volume presents new thinking on minority and indigenous rights in international law. The contributors include a range of academics, practitioners and international civil servants with a number of different approaches to this complex area. Debates receiving attention include self-determination, definitional issues, collective rights and rights to natural resources. Multiculturalism, integration, color as a ground for discrimination and the economic and social rights of minorities are also examined here. The work of the World Bank, the African Union, the Council of Europe and the OSCE in the field of minority rights is also examined here. The contrast between state claims and their actual practice is highlighted in case studies. |
