The first OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities, Max van der Stoel, is widely recognised as one of the architects of peace and stability in the Baltic region. However, his involvement into the interethnic reconciliation in Estonia and Latvia was formally limited to the recommendations made to the respective governments. The book contains an overview of the High Commissioner's urgent advice, an analysis of the appropriate changes in domestic legislatlon from 1993 to 2000, and finally the practical effects of the recommendations. The book contributes to more realistic and balanced studies of the role and potential of influential international organisations.
