Соблюдение прав национальных меньшинств: система гарантий в Статуте Лиги Наций
Protection of Minority Rights: System of Guarantees in the Covenant of the League of Nations

Summary/Abstract: The relevance of this paper stems from the fact that today, as we are approaching the 100 year anniversary of the creation of the League of Nations, a new vision is increasingly required in assessment of its legacy through the prism of modern international law. Further study in this field is necessary considering that the history of the League of Nations still remains a source of legal and political experience for the modern United Nations. The paper analyzes the stages of creation of a system for guarantees protecting the rights of national minorities within the framework of the League of Nations. Although this system was clearly very politicized in its nature, its novelty and integration of new elements of better quality for protection of minority rights cannot be denied. The primary goal of the paper is to reveal the reasons for the ultimate weakening of the League of Nations procedure for addressing petitions concerning violations of minority rights. In order to achieve this goal, the author uses the methods of objective, historical, and scientific analysis.
