  • Carinthian Slovenes and the second Austrian Republic
    Klemenčič, Matjaž, 1955- ; Grafenauer, Danijel
    For over 50 years, the Slovene minority in Austria has been denied its minority rights as guaranteed in the Austrian State Treaty of 1955. Studies and analyses confirm that the level of legal ... protection for the Slovene minority from the end of World War II has actually been lowered. Even the minority protection laws, which have been passed by the Austrian Parliament, are inadequate, and not fully implemented. It is perfectly clear that Austria has violated the principles of respect for human rights and basic freedoms as well as the rule of law that unites all member states of the EU, as written in the Treaty of the European Union. The Germanization of Carinthian Slovenes is not a voluntary process in Carinthia. Austrian authorities have tried to accelerate this process in many ways. From the mid-19th century the Slovene minority in southern Carinthia has had to fight for its very existence. Nevertheless we can establish that the Slovene minority in Austria can still prosper. The development of the Carinthian Slovene population shows us evolution from a typical rural to a modern urban minority. Its members are better educated than the majority. The quantity and quality of its political, economic, cultural and sports organizations confirm its strength and vitality. On the basis of the organizational structures we can estimate that the number of the minority members is much higher than that indicated by the post World War II censuses. The Slovene minority in Carinthia has always had moral support from Slovenes throughout the world, especially in the United States. As shown below, this support was intensified when Carinthian Slovenes had to fight for the implementation of minority rights.
