Legal protection of persons belonging to minorities (I)

Summary/Abstract: Current international standards reflect the stage that has been reached in regulating the rights of persons belonging to minorities, showing us the difficulties faced by the states to find generally acceptable legal solutions for the implementation of the signed agreements under conditions of a great diversity of laws and regulations on the protection of the rights of these persons. To be noted that the protection of minorities followed the same steps as the development of individual rights and freedoms in general, assimilating the recognized right to religious beliefs and to practicing another religion than the majority, as that of preserving the ethnic features compared to the majority culture. Through the work of the League of Nations the protection of minorities has entered a new stage, experiencing definite progress, and then after the Second World War, the United Nations has conferred to the human rights approaches a character of universality that resonates with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the approach and interpretation of the provisions regarding the rights of minorities it is important to understand that they relate to the rights of individuals, of persons and not of groups, which is a prerequisite in the process of understanding the rights of minorities’ controversial issue which involves the need for an as rigorous as possible definition of the minority groups.
