Tawhida Ahmed EU Minority Rights Book sku-14256832

Tawhida Ahmed's The Impact of EU Law on Minority Rights is a hardcover listed under International Law Books. It examines how EU law affects minority rights protection. The book explains that, unlike the UN or ECHR, the EU lacks competence to set minority-protection standards.

It argues that binding EU standards largely concern non-discrimination, particularly in employment, and cover only a small part of minority rights. It also examines the EU's ability to promote diversity and help redistribute power and resources.

After surveying relevant EU legal provisions and principles, the book considers minority cultural and linguistic rights and the needs of the Roma minority. Its conclusion describes the EU as a promoter of minority rights rather than a protector.

The book addresses lawyers and activists working on minority and Roma rights, as well as readers interested in the relationship between EU and international law in overlapping areas of rights protection. SKU: sku-14256832.
