Reihe: International Studies in Human Rights

The title of this volume is the critical and provocative question -- do we need minority rights? -- in order to announce that it does make sense to ask whether there are special obligations to minority protection.

These essays, none of which is published elsewhere, explore several of the many important philosophical questions about minority protection, as well as the practical and judicial problems related to certain answers.

The first four essays concern minority rights within the theory of liberalism, while the last four focus on more detailed problems of minority protection.
