WP 7: Non-territorial autonomy elements in international minority protection in the twentieth centuryity lobby groups, such as the Congress of European Nationalities, that were in
This work package traces non-territorial autonomy approaches in international minority protection during the twentieth century. It pays specific attention to transnational minority lobby groups, such as the Congress of European Nationalities, that were in favour of such concepts. We will explore their interactions with international law making institutions, such as the League of Nations or the OSCE, that have tended to be sceptical towards non-territorial autonomy. One of the main reasons for their diverging evaluation of non-territorial autonomy owes to the question whether collective rights or individual rights should be favoured.
