The emergence of democracy as a legal obligation of States permits the international community to concern itself with the procedure and substance of 'democratic' decisions concerning ethno-cultural groups. Democracy is not understood simply as majority rule. Cultural conflicts must be resolved in a way that is either acceptable or defensible to all citizens, including persons belonging to ethno-cultural minorities. Democracy, Minorities and International Law examines the implications of this recognition. Minorities -- Legal Status, Law 09817/MKRI-P/XI-2008
