有专家指出:法律缺失目前仍是障碍我国民族工作的一个关键。虽然几乎所有的省、直辖市、自治区都制定了相关的少数民族权益保障条例,但是,由于在具体实施过程中存在着许多问题,相关的各种条例都有可能落不到实处。《福建省少数民族权益保障条例》实施于2000年1月1日;五年来,福建省依法推进各项民族工作,为“堵住法律缺失”提供了一个案例。 Some experts pointed out: The lack of law is still a key obstacle to our national work. Although almost all the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have formulated the relevant regulations on safeguarding the rights and interests of ethnic minorities, due to many problems in the specific implementation process, the relevant regulations may not be implemented effectively. The “Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Ethnic Minorities in Fujian Province” were implemented on January 1, 2000; in the past five years, Fujian Province has pushed forward all ethnic groups in accordance with the law and provided a case for “blocking the absence of law.”
