Resolution of ethnic conflicts (ECs) is crucial for restoring international peace and security, which implicates the role of international law (IL). Employing a descriptive-analytical method and relying on desk research, this contribution seeks to examine the most significant challenges to and opportunities of IL in the context of resolving ECs. The analysis identifies three principal challenges: 1) the internal contradictions inherent in peacebuilding processes that impede the realization of sustainable peace in multiethnic societies; 2) the lack or insufficiency of a minority-oriented approach in United Nations’ structure and reaction mechanisms, rendering the achievement of lasting ethnic peace elusive; and 3) the organizational discoordination and one-dimensional approach within the UN framework, which has led to the inability or difficulty of taking effective, concentrated, comprehensive, and case-specific measures to resolve ECs. Conversely, the authors propose several existing solutions in international law for addressing these challenges including: 1) mainstreaming minority rights at the UN level; and 2) establishing a specialized institution for ECs within the UN structure. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the aforementioned challenges and opportunities faced by international law in the context of resolving ethnic conflicts.
