Internationalisation of the Muslim Minority Issue.
- Authors
AARBAKKE, VEMUND
- Abstract
The article discusses official discrimination against the Muslim minority in the Thrace region of Greece in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and its becoming an issue of international human rights activism. The author situates these developments within the broader framework of Greek-Turkish and Greek-European relations and highlights the importance of émigré activists in Germany and Turkey, among other countries, in influencing international public opinion on the matter. The human rights policies of the United States, the Helsinki Watch human rights advocacy and monitoring organization, later known as Human Rights Watch, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) are also examined.
