Abstract: This paper discusses the
features of the political rights of ethnic
minorities in individual European states.
The relevance of the study is due to the
fact that this institution is undergoing its
transformation. In connection with this
fact, object of research in the paper is the
analysis of individual international and
constitutional acts. The emphasis on
ethnic minorities in revealing the essence
of political rights is by no means
accidental. Legislative registration as a
state recognition of the rights of ethnic
minorities is a prerequisite for combating
discrimination and, at the same time,
protecting small groups of people.

accompanied by arguments based on
modern international norms. But when
referring to the main international acts,
this issue does not look as clear as it is
presented in a number of scientific
studies. It does not at all follow from
these international acts that these rights
belong only to ethnic groups. The term
“people” is interpreted as a community
of citizens residing both in independent
states and in dependent territories. Thus,
it is not entirely clear whether a
particular European state is obliged to
exercise these rights in relation to a
single ethnic group, since these
international documents do not directly
contain such an obligation.
Keywords: ethnic group, ethnic
minorities, ethnopolitology, ethnic
politics, ethnic law.
