ABSTRACT:
The need to protect minorities within multicultural states was a historical and remains a contemporary problem at international law, as persistent inter-ethnic conflicts and nationalist tensions threaten the stability of states. Past systematic efforts sought to protect minorities through group rights or the individual rights of group members, whether to promote peace or to secure human welfare. This article examines and evaluates the work of the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities in managing national minorities related problems in relation to pioneering a ‘peace and security’ based approach towards minority protection, a departure from the previous dominant human rights or group protection paradigm. This work reflects a growing appreciation of how gross human rights violations, including those arising from ethnic conflict, implicate security matters, bridging human rights and conflict prevention.
