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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | The so-called "right of humanitarian intervention" has been one of the most controversial foreign policy issues of the last decade-both when intervention has happened, as in Kosovo, and when it has failed to happen, as in Rwanda. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in his report to the 2000 Millennium Assembly, challenged the international community to try to forge consensus, once and for all, around the basic questions of principle and process involved: when should intervention occur, under whose authority and how. The independent International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty was established by the government of Canada in September 2000 to respond to that challenge. Its report's central theme is the idea of "The Responsibility to Protect." Sovereign states have a responsibility to protect their own citizens from avoidable catastrophe-from mass murder and rape, from starvation-but when they are unwilling or unable to do so, that responsibility must be borne by the broader community of states. |
