20.500.12556/DiRROS-22239 The concept and recognition of minorities in the practice of UN treaty bodies a case study from the Alpine Adriatic Pannonian area International law regularly operates with the term ‘minorities’ and related concepts when recognizing group specific rights, without actually setting out definitions on the protected groups. However, while the law itself is largely silent on the issue of conceptualization, the practice of monitoring organs can provide guidance in this regard. Therefore, this paper draws on the comparative legal analysis of the case law of UN human rights treaty bodies. Specifically, concluding observations on State reports will be analysed in the context of the Alpine Adriatic Pannonian area, including Slovenia and its neighbours as well as other former states of Yugoslavia. The paper aims to show the emerging consensus within the approaches of the individual treaty bodies, and to identify elements of the minority concept which appear systematically in the practice of all treaty bodies in the examined region, therefore contributing to the conceptualization of minorities in the framework of international human rights law. conceptualization of minorities UN treaty bodies Alpine Adriatic Pannonian area legal regulation of the status of ethnic communities true false false Angleški jezik Ni določen Delo ni kategorizirano 2025-05-12 15:51:35 2025-05-12 15:51:35 2025-10-24 03:50:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 20 str. 0000-00-00 PreprintDelovna NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 10.69070/2025_3 Nagy_manuscript_20250512.pdf Nagy_manuscript_20250512.pdf 1 A1AA096CE286837AA158B7732D564419 c8622aaaaacc47f715335ea77bbe584c703ec85ed5951d96331ef3e6e2b9f011 67089084-2f3a-11f0-963a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32205 Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja 0 0 0
