Today, the notion of minority rights, along with the issue of human rights constitutes one of the most important factors playing a role in international relations. This issue is considered outside the realm of the jurisdiction of the states and a valid international concern. At this point, this paper aims to discuss Turkish Cypriot administration’s policies towards the Maronite minority since 1974 when Cyprus was divided into two after the Turkish military operation. Although Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is not recognised by any country other than Turkey, TRNC has responsibilities as it approved human and minority rights conventions unilaterally. So, with this paper, it is aimed to discuss Turkish Cypriot administration’s legal and political responsibilities within the framework of the human and minority rights conventions by examining its policies towards the Minorities since 1974.
