This article discusses the use of the term "minority" as a political and legal concept. It argues that the term "minority" must be eliminated as a concept in International law because it is a tool of oppression that not only further diminishes the plight and human rights of marginalized groups but also obstruct their progress socially, economically and politically.
The recognition and protection of minority rights under international law began with the establishment of the League of Nations which adopted several “minority treaties”. When the United Nations was set up in 1945 to replace the League of Nations, it too, gradually developed a number of norms, procedures and mechanisms with an aim to protect minorities. Apart from UN various international statutes and standards have provided the broad framework for the protection and promotion of these minorities. This article is an endeavor by the author to ascertain the meaning of the term „Minority‟ as enshrined in different international statutes. Author has also made an attempt to analyze the scope of minority rights at the international forum. Article also consist analysis of various international statutes providing array of rights to the minorities with help of relevant case laws.
