Generally speaking, the catalogue of hximan rights should be enlarged only on the basis of carefully considered decisions, with attention focused on new international legal instruments that were likely to help solve current problems or eliminate wrongful practices. In that respect, the rights of national, ethnic and linguistic minorities and religious groups should be codified as a matter of priority, since massive and flagrant violations of those rights were the cause of many present-day problems. National minorities should enjoy special rights for which there was as yet no provision in the international system of hxoman rights. The Hungarian Government, particularly sensitive as it was to violations of the rights of national minorities and discrimination against them, would therefore like priority to be given to the work of the Commission on Human Rights Working Group on the drafting of a declaration on the rights of persons belonging to national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, in order to fill a gap in international standard-setting activities concerning htmian rights.
