The UN Minorities Dec doc remains the definitive doc on minority rights, but it's best if people speak frankly as to how they feel about these things in our usual CF way.
Anyway, a reminder to all pleeeeeeese, that these rights, the general, universal human rights of the ECHR, together with these minority rights, need to be incorporated in to a settlement, indeed they should form the bedrock of a reunification in a Rights Based BBF... and as they are rights, we should look upon them as non-negotiable, and to recap, the more CY salient ones are...
Right to respect for Property (...ahem... as per '74 kochans)
Right to respect for Home (... but that does not mean a Free Home)
Freedom of Movement (as per Article 13 of the UDHR, and others)
Minority Rights (in both future zones as well as at federal level, and not confined to two larger "communities" by the way)
i agree. human rights are important.
