Abstract

In the absence of a specific provision in the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter "the Convention" or ECHR) on the protec- tion of minority rights, and waiting for the entry into force of Protocol No. 12, which will provide a right to non-discrimination separate from the other substantive articles of the Convention on the grounds, inter alia, of association with a national minority, I the Strasbourg Court, in the period under consideration in this volume, has made nev- ertheless several determinations concerning minority rights. This is mainly due to the invaluable efforts of NGOs, human rights lawyers and various associations representing minority groups before the Court. Organizations such as the European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC), the Aire Centre (London), the Kurdish Human Rights Project, and also single lawyers committed to the cause of human rights who have defended appli- cants in Strasbourg or have submitted third-party comments, are the main actors in this steadily progressing development of Strasbourg case-law towards an ever-increasing protection of minority rights under the Convention. In the period under consideration, the Court has delivered some important rul- ings, in particular, in the Nacbova case, in which for the first time
