situation were the affected peoples minorities. They were the majorities in their own countries, forced to submit to foreign domination. When the international community attempted to address the situation as one of E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.l0 page 12 protecting minorities, it fell into the position of appearing to uphold the legality of the annexations. The !ED assumed that Mr. Eide would study that issue in his final report. 63. In conclusion, she hoped that those difficult situations would be addressed and that the outcome would be a strong statement in support of her organization's views that the time afforded Governments to grant minorities their full rights was not unlimited and that forced annexation never reduced a people into a minority. 64. Mr. EIDE said that the discussion, probably the most profound on minority issues held since 1950, had been extremely valuable. His study was now becoming a collective study by the whole Sub-Commission because of the contributions made by members and non-governmental organizations. 65. The question of whether differences should be highlighted or whether the focus should be on equal rights for minorities had been raised by Mr. Sadi. His own view was that stress should be laid on the desirability of a community made up of different groups with their own traditions, each benefiting from one another. 66. All had agreed that the aim should not be assimilation but integration. However, the extent of integration depended on practical considerations that had to be taken into account in the special circumstances. 67. Mr. Heller and others had pointed out that the use of the word "model" was in contradiction to his general comments on the diversity of situations. He agreed with that point, as well as with Mrs. Palley's suggestion of a repertory of possible approaches to different situations that could be listed.
