Summary/Abstract: Protection of minorities (the recognition and preservation of minority rights) is one of the challenges facing the modern international law. Successful resolution of this issue significantly supports the stability in some area, region and the stability of international relations in general. Protection of minorities occupies an important place in activities of European organizations, especially the Council of Europe. The author presented the system of minority protection implemented within the organization by means of an analysis of individual decisions of the European Commission of Human Rights, and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and an analysis of contents of documents on minority protection adopted under the aus-pices of the Council of Europe (European Charter of Regional and Minority Languages, the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities).
