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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | From the dawn of modern international law, many treaties have recognized the rights of specific minorities in specific territories. The trend reached its peak with the elaborate series of minorities' treaties concluded after World War I. The subject of the protection of minorities dominated the field of international human rights in the period between the two World Wars. However, the prevalent opinion after World War II was that, once individual human rights are fully respected, group rights of minorities would become redundant. Today there is a growing awareness that, irrespective of the observance of the fundamental freedoms of individuals, minority groups have their legitimate interests that must be accomodated. |
