However, while the law itself is largely silent on the issue of conceptualization, the practice of monitoring organs can provide guidance in this regard. Therefore, this paper draws on the doctrinal and comparative legal analysis of the case-law of UN human rights treaty bodies. Specifically, concluding observations are analysed in the context of the Alpine-Adriatic-Pannonian area, including Slovenia and its neighbours as well as other states of the former Yugoslavia. The paper aims to show the emerging consensus within the approaches of the individual treaty bodies and to identify elements of the minority concept which appear systematically in the practice of all treaty bodies in the region under examination, thus contributing to the conceptualization of minorities in the framework of international human rights lawV mednarodnem pravu se v povezavi s pravicami določenih skupin pogosto uporablja izraz manjšine ter sorodni pojmi, vendar pa pravo samo teh skupin ne opredeljuje natančno. Koristne usmeritve na tem področju zato ponuja praksa organov, ki spremljajo izvajanje ustreznih mednarodnih instrumentov. Članek temelji na doktrinarni in primerjalnopravni analizi sodne prakse teles OZN za človekove pravice. Zaključne ugotovitve so umeščene v kontekst alpsko-jadransko-panonske regije, ki vključuje Slovenijo, njene sosede in druge države nekdanje Jugoslavije. Namen članka je pokazati, da med pogodbenimi telesi obstaja vse večje soglasje glede pojmovanja manjšin, ter izluščiti bistvene sestavine koncepta manjšin, ki se dosledno pojavljajo v njihovi praksi. Članek tako prispeva k nadaljnji konceptualizaciji manjšin v okviru mednarodnega prava človekovih pravicTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za narodnostna vprašanja
