untry and regulates the legal relations not only with respect to minorities but seeks to establish a comprehensive regulation concerning the relationship between the state and its minorities as well.
 In this context the word "special" means that the territorial effect of the documents in the given category extends to a certain part of the territory of the country, and regulates only certain legal relations with respect to minorities.
 Came into effect on 20 January 1920. Considering the significance of the Polish Minorities treaty, Kraus publishes a German translation in his work cited above besides the official French and English texts: 50-71. See the Hungarian translation in: Halmosy. ibid. 84-89.

 Came into effect on 6 August 1924. See: Kraus. ibid. 177-180. It is interesting to note that the treaty signed in Sèvres on 20 August 1920 (which never came into effect) included comprehensive minority protection regulations. For example, it would have granted autonomy to the Kurds besides the preservation of a separate Armenian state; it stipulated - according to the Balfour declaration of 2 November 1917, see Kraus. ibid. 275-277. - the need for the establishment of a Jewish "national home" ("nationale Heimstätte"), etc. See: Pircher. ibid. 66.
 It is not necessary to touch upon the provisions of all peace treaties in this respect. I shall quote only Article 44 Paragraph 1 and Article 47 of the Trianon Treaty: "The Serb-Croat-Slovene State recognises and confirms in relation to Hungary its obligation to accept the embodiment in a Treaty with the Principal Allied and Associated Powers such provisions as may be deemed necessary by these Powers to protect the interests of inhabitants of that State who differ from the majority of the population in race, language or religion..." See Hungarian text in: Halmosy. ibid. 101-102.
 The detailed analysis of those provisions of international law that were not placed under the protection of the League of Nations, the discussion of their "pre- and post-history", and the exploration of their influence on international relations could serve with numerous lessons for any experts of international law. However, the scope of this work does not allow for this. Documents enumerated under [II] comprise only a fraction of these types of treaties. Further sections of the monograph by the author, with a special emphasis on Part III Point 5, touch upon a few treaties not included in the enumeration here.
 The Resolution of the Council of the League of Nations adopted on 24 June 1921 called upon Finland to enact a law on the autonomy of the Åland Islands in exchange of the recognition of its sovereignty with respect to the islands. Finland and Sweden drafted the agreement through direct negotiations. The agreement was signed on 27 June, which the Council acknowledged with its above-mentioned resolution. See the text of the resolution: Kraus. ibid. 116-119. On the status of the Swedish minority of the Åland Islands under international law see Kovács Péter: Nemzetközi jog és kisebbségvédelem. Budapest, 1996, 211-224.
