Unlike the UN or ECHR, the EU has no competence to set standards on minority protection and this has been a point of disappointment for minority rights advocates. Indeed, this book will demonstrate that, in EU law, binding standards really only exist in the sphere of non-discrimination and are at their strongest in the field of employment. As such, binding standards within EU law affect only a small proportion of the canon of minority rights. However, the EU does have competence to promote diversity and facilitate redistribution of power and resources across the EU. According to a broad understanding of minority rights protection, acts of promotion and facilitation -alongside those of standard-setting - constitute essential underpinnings for minority protection. The EU's existing competences do therefore play a key role in minority protection. In order to support these conclusions, the book undertakes a comprehensive examination of the impact of EU law on minority rights protection"--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aModern studies in European law. 517 3 $aImpact of European Union law on minority rights 606 $aMinorities$xCivil rights$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zEuropean Union countries 606 $2Human rights & civil liberties law 615 0$aMinorities$xCivil rights 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a342.24087 700 $aAhmed$b Tawhida$01553613 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789547303321 996 $aThe impact of EU law on minority rights$93814283 997 $aUNINA
