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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | At the 1990 Copenhagen Conference on the Human Dimension, OSCE states laid the groundwork for what would become the fundamental rule book for the entire OSCE region. The framework developed since the Helsinki Final Act in 1975 has now become a comprehensive set of standards. While the details of all of the related commitments can be found in this compilation, their essence is to be found in a few basic principles: that respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is at the heart of the OSCE's concept of security; and that states are accountable to all of their citizens, and to one another, for ensuring that these rights and freedoms are indeed respected and protected. The OSCE states have affirmed that the ODIHR, together with the High Commissioner on National Minorities and the Representative on Freedom of the Media are essential instruments in ensuring respect for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. |
