Summary:	"The present volume contains the Venice Commission's report of October 2001 on the preferential treatment of national minorities by their kin-states, the proceedings of a colloquy on the same subject organised by the Commission in June 2002 as a follow-up to the report, as well as a collection of the existing national legislation on kin-minorities"--P. 4 of cover.

Description
Summary:	This report contains a number of papers which examine the national laws of European countries regarding the treatment and protection of people belonging to national minorities who live in states outside the borders of their country of origin. This study was undertaken in order to establish whether such laws are compatible with the principles of international law and Council of Europe standards, following the adoption by Hungary in 2001 of an Act which provides benefits and assistance to those of Hungarian origin or identity who live in neighbouring countries.
