| Title | Evolution of the Educational Rights of Minorities in the League of Nations, United Nations and Council of Europe Systems |
| Summary | The present thesis is devoted to the comprehensive analysis of the historic development of the educational rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities. The study focuses on the transformation of the minorities’ protection regimes established within the League of Nations after World War I into more individualistic system of the protection of the rights of persons belonging to minorities that emerged after World War II within the United Nations and Council of Europe. From the wide array of the rights of persons belonging to minorities, education plays a crucial role and is paramount to the survival and further development of minority communities. While the rights of persons belonging to minorities are perceived as individual rights – such approach is practical and important for jurisdictional reasons, the collective aspect of minority rights is undisputed. This is particularly relevant for the educational rights of persons belonging to minorities, as educational process mostly has collective character. The research focuses on the evolution of minority education rights within three legal systems: minority protection regimes under the League of Nations, educational rights of persons belonging to minority groups under the United Nations, and the regional Council of Europe system. The study also provides an overview of modern understanding of the educational rights of persons belonging to minority groups. In this aspect, thesis analyzes the minority rights as human rights – focusing on the subjective element of the minority education rights, and examines the content or material elements of the educational rights of minorities. |
