Intangible Heritage of Ethnic Groups in Pakistan. Ethnic, Religious or Linguistic minority rights

      Аннотация: Minority rights protection was for the first time formally included within the international legal framework following World War I, through the League of Nations’ Minority Treaties. However, the League of Nations was dissolved in 1946.After World War II, minority rights received significantly less attention, with the notable exceptions of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the Genocide Convention), and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which includes minority rights protection under Article 27.The collapse of the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe and the rise of ethnic nationalism, followed by the violent conflict in former Yugoslavia, changed the situation.
