Summary
  1. Examines minority rights issues central to the concerns of Canada's three major ethnic constituencies: self-determination of Aboriginal peoples; anti-racism strategies and multiculturalism; and the national sovereignty of the Quebecois. Analyses and evaluates the comparative strength of legal protection for the human rights of ethnic groups. Includes texts of the following documents: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Declaration of the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities; the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Constitution Act, 1982, Part I); and the Rights of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada (Constitution Act, 1982, Part II).
