Minority Treaties information


The Minority Treaties[a] are treaties, League of Nations mandates,[1] and unilateral declarations[2] made by countries applying for membership in the League of Nations that conferred basic rights on all the inhabitants of the country without distinction of birth, nationality, language, race or religion. The country concerned had to acknowledge the clauses of the treaty as fundamental laws of state and as obligations of international concern placed under the guarantee of the League of Nations.[3] Most of the treaties entered into force after the Paris Peace Conference.
