Zaštita prava manjina u Albaniji - komparativna analiza pravnog okvira Ujedinjenih nacija i Evropske unije Minority rights in Albania: A comparative study of UN and EU legal frameworks XXII International Scientific Conference „Legal days – Prof. Slavko Carić” “Law and Justice” volume: 22 startpage: 328 endpage: 339 Novi Sad : The University of Business Academy, The Faculty of Law for Commerce and Judiciary eng 2025 Apstrakt: Zaštita prava manjina je neophodna za unapređenje jednakosti, socijalne integracije i mira u različitim društvima. Albanija, koju karakteriše etnička i kulturna raznolikost, uspostavila je specifičan pravni okvir usmeren na zaštitu prava manjina. Međutim, uprkos ovim zakonskim odredbama, ostaju značajni izazovi u njihovoj efikasnoj primeni. Ovaj rad se bavi pitanjem u kojoj meri je pravni okvir Albanije za zaštitu prava manjina usklađen sa međunarodnim standardima, posebno standardima Ujedinjenih nacija (UN) i Evropske unije (EU), i koje praznine postoje između zakonodavstva i prakse. Istraživanje koristi mešoviti metodološki pristup, kombinujući doktrinarnu pravnu analizu, uporednu analizu i studiju slučaja. Fokusira se na dva glavna cilja: prvo, identifikovanje zakona Albanije o pravima manjina i njihove stvarne primene; drugo, poređenje pravne zaštite u Albaniji sa međunarodnim instrumentima kao što su Međunarodna konvencija o ukidanju svih oblika rasne diskriminacije, deklaracija UN i Povelja EU o osnovnim pravima. Kroz uporednu analizu, rad procenjuje koherentnost između nacionalnih zakona i međunarodnih normi, ističući praktične izazove, kao i relevantne presude Evropskog suda za ljudska prava. Konačno, istraživanje ima za cilj da pruži praktične preporuke usmerene na premošćavanje jaza između pravnih okvira i prakse, čime se poboljšava zaštita prava manjina u Albaniji kroz bolje usklađivanje sa međunarodnim standardima i efikasniju implementaciju politika. Abstrakt: Protection of minority rights is essential for promoting equality, social integration, and peace within diverse societies. Albania, characterized by its ethnic and cultural diversity, has established a specific legal framework aimed at safeguarding minority rights. However, despite these legal provisions, significant challenges remain in their effective implementation. This paper addresses the research question to what extent does Albania's legal framework for minority rights protection align with international standards, particularly those of the United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU), and what gaps exist between legislation and practice. The research employs a mixed methodological approach, combining doctrinal legal analysis, comparative study, and case study examination. It focuses on two main objectives: first, to identify discrepancies between Albania's minority rights laws and their actual enforcement; second, to assess Albania's legal protections in comparison with international instruments such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, UN declarations, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Through comparative analysis, the paper evaluates the coherence between national laws and international norms, highlighting practical challenges as well as relevant rulings from the European Court of Human Rights. Ultimately, the research seeks to provide actionable recommendations aimed at bridging the gap between legal frameworks and practice, thereby improving the protection of minority rights in Albania through better alignment with international standards and more effective policy implementation. info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceProceedings Hoxha, Stela Danaj, Adela Galetin, Milena https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:8319 doi:10.5937/PDSC25328H ISBN: 978-86-86121-84-4 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Ključne reči: Prava manjina; Albanija; Ujedinjene nacije; Pravni okvir; Evropska unija.
