Summary/Abstract: The Treaty of 9 December 1919 concerning minority protection was eventually signed by Romania only after fierce opposition grounded on the argument that the Treaty provisions contravene the principle of equal state sovereignty. The present paper is focused on examining the circumstances of the drafting of the 1919 Minority Treaty, on expounding its normative content and on depicting the situation of national minorities in interwar Romania. Finally, a general assessment of interwar Romania’s attitude towards minorities is undertaken.
