In modern Europe, in the beginning, the interests of the ethnic minorities were protected by international law. After the first World War, the rights of the ethnic minorities and the cultural autonomy were constitutionalized in Northern Europe such as Finland and the Baltic states as well as the socialist states. Recently, they are dealed with as the important constitutional rights in Western States, for example, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, and Canada. In general, the concept of the ethnic minority rights consists of two elements; namely, one is the prohibition against discrimination on account of nationality or race, the other is not only protecting but also developing the peculiar cultur of the ethnic minority groups, especially, language, education, religion and traditional customs. I think it necessary for giving consideration to the human rights of the ethnic minority groups to respect their cultural particularity.
