| description | The High Commissioner on National Minorities' (HCNM) role as a normative actor is significant both for understanding the success of this specific instrument as well as the crucial importance of norms in diffusing and ultimately overcoming minority/majority tensions more generally.

In the HCNM's case, that outcome is security for minorities and majorities understood as a plural democracy in which diversity is recognized and respected. |
