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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | When the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, it was decided that the UN could not remain indifferent to the fate of minorities. Since then, the formulation of minority rights has proceeded at a slow but steady pace in a number of international and regional organizations. Minorities and persons belonging to them benefit from the equal enjoyment of all human rights, as well as non-discrimination in that enjoyment. These fundamental rules of international human rights law apply, of course, to persons belonging to minorities. In response to the wisdom pronounced by the General Assembly in its reference to the fate of minorities, minority-specific provisions in a number of human rights instruments aim to achieve equal rights for all. This handbook reproduces many of these minority-specific texts. |
