摘要：“少數(shù)人”在不同的語言環(huán)境中具有不同的含義。在現(xiàn)代民主架構(gòu)中，人們?cè)谧杂伞⑵降鹊沫h(huán)境中行使自己的權(quán)利，選舉自己認(rèn)可的代表或者發(fā)表自己的言論，而體制為實(shí)現(xiàn)最終的決定選擇多數(shù)人的意見作為最后的決議。現(xiàn)代民主架構(gòu)中的“少數(shù)人”是社會(huì)主體在以有限多數(shù)原則為基礎(chǔ)下，所產(chǎn)生的其意見、建議不同于相對(duì)多數(shù)人的群體。少數(shù)人權(quán)利的保護(hù)是現(xiàn)代民主的重要內(nèi)容。少數(shù)人權(quán)利是個(gè)人權(quán)利，法律的規(guī)范性、穩(wěn)定性是保護(hù)少數(shù)人權(quán)利的有效方式。同時(shí)，少數(shù)人權(quán)利的有效保障也有利于現(xiàn)代民主的更好發(fā)展。就少數(shù)人權(quán)利保護(hù)的現(xiàn)狀來看，人們對(duì)國(guó)際法領(lǐng)域的少數(shù)人群體的保護(hù)比較關(guān)注，包括了從法理研究到法律制度完善的各個(gè)方面。對(duì)于現(xiàn)代民主架構(gòu)中多數(shù)決下的少數(shù)人權(quán)利的保障則顯得比較薄弱，大多流于形式。
