Conference:
On 11 June 1992, the international conflict over South Tyrol was formally concluded with the presentation of the declaration of dispute settlement before the United Nations. 30 years later, Eurac Research is organizing a conference with representatives of the United Nations, scholars and politicians to discuss whether and to what extent South Tyrol can serve as an example for other conflicts in territories inhabited by minorities.
