Constitutional Law and the Protection of Minority Rights: Analyzing Global Perspectives

Abstract

An essential feature of constitutional law that reflects a society's dedication to equality, fairness, and the rule of law is the protection of minority rights. By comparing and contrasting the ways in which different legal systems deal with prejudice, cultural preservation, and political representation, this article investigates the function of constitutional law in protecting the rights of minority groups worldwide. The study investigates the efficacy of minority protection provisions in constitutions, court interpretations, and laws by comparing global viewpoints. This study examines the pros and cons of protecting minority rights using case studies drawn from a variety of areas, such as the EU, South Africa, India, and the US. The impact of UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and other international human rights treaties on national constitutional frameworks is also considered.
