The article analyzes the development of the system of international legal universal and regional documents regulating the status of ethnic minorities, the role, and the importance of acts of the UN, UNESCO, International Labor Organization, OSCE, and Commonwealth of Independent States in this regard. As a result of the research, it has been justified that in the system of international legal universal documents regulating the status of ethnic minorities, the universal document “On the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities” adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 18, 1992, Hague Recommendations on the Rights of National Minorities to Education (October 1996), Oslo Recommendations on the Linguistic Rights of National Minorities (February 1998), Graz Recommendations on Minorities and Their Access to Justice (October 2017), Tallinn Recommendations on Minorities and the Media in a Digital World Access” (March 2019) have a special place.
