Document Summary

There is a difference between human rights and minority rights but they operate similarly. They both become operations with they become legal right. The international law component has to get translated (coded in national domestic law). In the transnational sphere there is the conventions and you have to take those into national/domestic law the constitutional law. What you actually have in terms of rights, and effective remedies for minorities is heavily dependent on what is in your cou(cid:374)try"s co(cid:374)stitutio(cid:374). There are ngos a(cid:374)d i(cid:374)ter(cid:374)atio(cid:374)al court a court of last resource. It allows for individual application of human rights where if you exhausted all possibilities of going to your supreme court of your region could go to this court to seek remedy outside of. The european convention on human rights holds quite a big section for minority rights and is how people could go the european court of human right. This only extends to those under the european union.
