Question: a resolution on the rights of minorities by congress was initiated by

title: Minority rights
text: At the Versailles Peace Conference the Supreme Council established ' The Committee on New States and for The Protection of Minorities ' . All the new successor states were compelled to sign minority rights treaties as a precondition of diplomatic recognition . It was agreed that although the new states had been recognized , they had not been ' created ' before the signatures of the final peace treaties . The issue of German and Polish rights was a point of dispute as Polish rights in Germany remained unprotected , unlike the German minority in Poland . Like other principles adopted by the League , the Minorities Treaties were a part of the Wilsonian idealist approach to international relations ; like the League itself , the Minority Treaties were increasingly ignored by the respective governments , with the entire system mostly collapsing in the late 1930s . Despite the political failure , they remained the basis of international law . After World War II , the legal principles were incorporated in the UN Charter and a host of international human rights treaties .
