ABSTRACT
This study will look at how minority rights are protected under International Law with regard to the role played by international institutions, both affiliated with the United Nations and regional organisations, in safeguarding these rights. The study concludes that increased attention to minority rights at the international level occurred due to the increased numbers of minorities who were being subject to human rights violations, resulting in the need to create international mechanisms for monitoring and judicially enforcing these rights. The research also clarifies the role of United Nations institutions, such as the Security Council and international courts, in protecting minorities, as well as the role of regional bodies such as the Council of Europe and the League of Arab States. The research concludes that significant progress has been made in the field of international protection, despite the existence of legal and political challenges that hinder the achievement of effective and comprehensive protection for minorities.
Keywords: adjudication mechanisms; Council of Europe; League of Arab States; political challenges; international law.
