Lack of knowledge of legal possibilities and institutional support for minority interests. This guide helps activists and NGOs to educate themselves on the legal frameworks and possibilities on international and pan-African level for protecting minority rights.

The guide functions similarly to a handbook for activists and organizations working in the field of protection of minority rights and interests. There exists a large legal framework on international and pan-African level which support minority rights. The guide informs about these frameworks and the relevant instiutions, which can be used to the benefit of minorities. The link below directs to a website where the guide can be downloaded in PDF.
