Affiliation: | * Reader in Law,University of Essex, The author is grateful to Jane Wright, a colleague, for an early copy of her article, 'The OSCE and Minorities', 18 HRQ/90 (1996), without which many of the ideas expressed in this article would not have been identified. The author is also indebted to Jane Wright, Susanne Schmeidl, Francoise Hampson, Jeremy Bristol and Nigel Rodley for their views on an early draft; however, the views expressed and any errors are mine alone. The law is stated as at 1 July 1996. |
