الحقوق الثقافية للأقليات في القانون الدولي العام

Abstract EN

The cultural rights for the people of minorities of language, religion and education are responsible for keeping their distinctiveness from other members of community, hence such cultural rights are necessary to protect the existence of minorities as a distinguished group having its own culture.

There is a possibility that such minorities practice other civil, political, economic and social rights, therefore the problem of minorities is considered common for most countries around the world, and this problem is renewable and subject to different variables.

This problem once was addressed in accordance with internal laws, however, nowadays this problem is considered one of the issues that concern the international community because of its impact on states stability internally and externally.

People of minorities enjoy all human rights stipulated by international conventions and treaties related to human rights as well as enjoying their own rights helping them maintain their own characteristics.

And this is what some states included in their constitutions and internal laws.

Thus, the respect for cultural diversity and the granting of minorities their rights, stipulated in the international law including cultural rights of would help maintain the stability of states, and ensure that international peace and security are not exposed to jeopardy.

Enjoying minorities these rights is an evidence that the state is on the right track, maintaining majority and minority's rights indiscriminately alike.
