Are Minority Rights Still Human Rights?

This collection investigates the extent to which, both in theoretical and practical terms, minority rights can, or should, be treated as part of the human rights regime.

Taking a four-part approach, the book looks at minority rights as human rights; explores their institutional setting; examines the protections afforded to them; and finally explores them in their wider sociological context. The contributors, all internationally renowned experts from the world of scholarship and practice, offer different disciplinary perspectives (legal, political, social, anthropological). The result is a fascinating assessment of how minority rights are currently protected.
