    Book Review: AI and the Human Rights of Minorities
    (Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2025) Saleem, Rutaba; Corvinus Egyetem
    This book review analyses Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights (Oxford University Press, 2023), an edited volume by Alberto Quintavalla and Jeroen Temperman, which provides a comprehensive examination of how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies intersect with international human rights law. Focusing on nine key chapters, the review emphasises the book’s relevance for minority protection. It examines how biased data, and opaque algorithms reproduce structural discrimination in policing, employment, and digital speech regulation; how facial recognition and predictive analytics threaten liberty, assembly, and privacy; and how “digital authoritarianism” is proportionately targets ethnic and religious minorities in the Global South. The contributors’ interdisciplinary approach, bridging law, ethics, and computer science, underscores that algorithmic harms are embedded throughout the AI life cycle and must be anticipated through rights based risk assessments rather than mitigated ex post facto. The book’s novelty lies in integrating minority protection into broader debates on AI governance and in advocating for participatory mechanisms that include affected communities in the design of regulations.

    Dual roles and rights implications. The unsettled dynamics of AI use in relation to minoritised communities
    (Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2025) Dabis Attila; Corvinus Egyetem
    This paper explores the volatile relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) tools and minoritised communities, addressing the primary research question: In what ways does the deployment of AI technologies in both democratic and authoritarian contexts affect minoritised groups, particularly regarding bias, discrimination, human rights violations, and the preservation or erosion of cultural and linguistic identities? The study utilises a mixed-methods approach, integrating content analysis of international human rights instruments and relevant scholarly literature with case studies, such as the implementation of AI-driven surveillance on the Uyghur community in China or various instances of language revitalisation supported by AI tools. The research underscores the dual nature of AI applications. On the one hand, AI tools can be employed for oppressive measures, including ethnic profiling, extensive surveillance, and cultural oppression, as demonstrated in the Uyghur case. Conversely, AI offers promising avenues for preserving the identity of minoritised communities, par ticularly through language revitalisation and cultural preservation, fostering inclusivity and empowering marginalised populations within digital environments. This study aims to contribute to the underexplored intersection of AI and minoritised communities by presenting an interdiscipli nary perspective that connects AI development with the protection of minority rights. The findings emphasise the necessity of a humanrights-based framework in AI design and implementation, highlighting the potential for AI to enhance the empowerment of minoritised communities while also recognising the dangers of exploitation in authoritarian regimes.

    The importance of mother tongue education in exercising minority rights. The case of the ethnic Hungarian minority of Ukraine in Transcarpathia
    (Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2025) Gyeney Laura; Tarpai Zsuzsanna
    This paper examines the legal framework governing the right to mother tongue education for national minorities, with a specific focus on the ethnic Hungarian community in Ukraine’s Transcarpathian region. It asks how recent Ukrainian legislative reforms, particularly since 2017, have reshaped or curtailed previously acquired language rights, and to what extent these changes align with international standards on minority protection. The study employs a legal-analytical methodology, systematically reviewing relevant international instruments, domestic Ukrainian legislation, and case law, alongside contextual political analysis. Special attention is given to the ambiguities in legal interpretation and implementation, as well as the evolving role of kin-state advocacy by Hungary. Findings reveal that while formal guarantees for minority language education still exist, their scope has been significantly reduced by recent education and language laws. Although a 2023 amendment restored certain rights for EU-language minorities, such as Hungarians, the broader legal and institutional environment remains fragile and politically contingent. The case study contributes to the literature by highlighting the central role of linguistic rights within the broader framework of minority protections and by demon strating how legal uncertainty and gradual legislative regression can erode previously established guarantees in this field. Its conclusions offer critical insights into the tension between nation-building and minority inclusion in post-Soviet and conflict-affected Ukraine.

    Kisebbségvédelem és/vagy a határok sérthetetlensége. Hegyi-Karabah tanulságai
    (Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2025) Fedinec Csilla; ELTE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
    The decades-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh took a radical turn in 2023 when Azerbaijan’s military operations finally ended the region’s de facto independence. These events significantly altered the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the regional geopolitical landscape. This study examines the historical context of the conflict, the political evelopments following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the exodus of Karabakh Armenians. Particular emphasis is placed on the minority issue: the loss of rights by the Karabakh Armenian community and the resulting dilemma of reconciling the principle of territorial integrity with the minorities’ demand for self-determination. The analysis reveals that, despite the slow normalisation of relations between the two states following the conflict’s resolution, the situation of minority communities remains a source of ongoing tension, which may continue to affect stability in the South Caucasus in the long term.
