The issue of minority rights continues to occupy a sensitive position in international law. Historical as well as contemporary events show that the subject is also capable of engulfing the international community as a whole. The contention of the present study is that international law is in itself a difficult medium for providing adequate rights for minorities and for effectively safeguarding those rights. This volume analyzes the weaknesses in the international protection of minority rights through a detailed examination of the practices and policies of Pakistan. It should prove to be useful to international human rights lawyers and to scholars engaged in the study of minority rights in South-Asia and Pakistan.
