Abstract: In the aftermath of the Second World War, when the system of the United Nations was created, granting rights to collectivities was not a United Nations priority. Collective rights, and, a fortiori, the right of groups ‘to protect and develop their own particular cultural characteristics’ were, at that time, seen as a peril to the establishment of the international human rights system. ‘Groups’ meant division, discord, conflict, and disparity.
