The Weaknesses in the Minority Rights Protection Framework within the European Regional Human Rights System

Summary/Abstract: Much of the discourse on minority rights protection under international law is focused on the UN system, notably article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Declaration on the Rights of National or Ethnic, Religious or Linguistic Minorities. In such discourse, the regional systems, especially the more comprehensive and progressive European system, are not appraised as often as they should be. The author of this paper focuses therefore on the minority rights protection regime within the European Union. And in doing so,he gives an overview of the legal instruments and mechanisms dedicated to the protection of minority rights with in the EU, analyzes the loopholes of this system and makes critical conclusions on the suitability of this system to the concerns minority groups face.
