State of the World's Minorities 2006

Minority Rights Group International published the first edition of the State of the World's Minorities last week. Regional summaries, along with articles by MRG Executive Director Mark Lattimer and human rights expert Asbjørn Eide, are available on the site. The complete text of the report can be ordered online.

MRG previously published the World Directory of Minorities, a well-respected reference book with detailed profiles of over 700 minority groups. However, the directory was not kept up-to-date, with the last edition appearing in 1997. MRG's aim is to make the State of the World's Minorities an annual publication with more current data and analysis.
