Summary/Abstract: Human and minorities rights represent an important part in foreign policy of each state in the last decades. I can remember the period of Helsinki process in the seventies and the effort of former socialist countries representatives that the human rights issue does not occur under the microscope of the community. And on the contrary, representatives of dissidents of former socialist Czechoslovakia did everything so that human rights and minorities rights in Czechoslovakia and other socialist countries became internationalised, and that they became a foreign policy issue. In present Europe, also thanks to the Helsinki process, human rights and minorities rights are not considered to be an internal problem of a state. Basic documents of the Council of Europe, mechanism of accepting countries, as well as the consecutive monitoring and post monitoring processes and the whole process of countries joining the EU and NATO is opening the book of human rights policy and policy of nationalities of each candidate country.
