The Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities Twenty Years After: Experiences at the End of the Fourth Monitoring Cycle

Summary/Abstract: Twenty years have passed since the introduction of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (Framework Convention), and there are increasingly more indications that the Framework Convention has become an international human rights instrument able to set standards for the protection of the rights of persons belonging to national minorities. This process requires periodically the solution of procedural and substantive questions. Moreover, the number and the gravity of the challenges affecting the effective application of the Framework Convention has not diminished in recent years – still, or indeed for this very reason, the implementation of the convention by the states needs to be continuously monitored. This paper aims, at the advent of the fifth monitoring cycle, to highlight the features that were developed during the first two decades of the mechanism.
