The idea was to examine national experience in order to try to construct models or approaches for peaceful and constructive solutions of minority situations. It would therefore be necessary to consider not only rights but, more important, institutions established and procedures used to deal with minority problems, in order to explore the usefulness and the possibilities of improvement • . 3. In section III of his report, he had indicated some basic issues, in particular the need to protect the fundamental freedoms and human rights of all individuals, whether members of minorities or majorities.
