New periodical: European Yearbook on Minorities
Dear friends,
The Section on Minority Issues of the Centre for Migration Law, Law
Faculty, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, is preparing the
European Yearbook on Minorities.
The Yearbook is intended to be an immediate and reliable source of
information on what is happening in the legal and political fields at
both international and national level and thereby at facilitating
activities and efforts in the protection of individual and group human
rights, in main-taining of peace and security, in combating phenomena
such as racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism and in promoting
democracy, co-operation and the rule of law in the European states.
It consists of three standard chapters, as follows:
I. An academic discussion on the current issues concerning minorities.
This part includes a number of scientific articles on a specific topic
selected as �theme of the year�
II. Information on the developments taking place on the international
level specifically including chapters on activities and documents of
the following organizations:
- United Nations
- United Nations specialized agencies ILO and UNESCO;
- Council of Europe;
- Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe;
- European Union;
- Office of the Commissioner of the Council of the Baltic Sea States;
- Central European Initiative
- Commonwealth of Independent States
III. Review of national activities and documents of the OSCE countries
(excluding USA and Canada).
The information included is provided from persons directly involved in
the work of the respective international organizations. Significant
assistance is also provided by the Ministries for Foreign or Internal
Affairs of the OSCE countries.
The 1999 volume of the Yearbook will deal with minority languages in
the OSCE countries (ex-cluding USA and Canada). It will be published
in the second half of 1999 and will cover the period January �
December 1998. The Special Guest Expert for this volume is Dr. Fernand
de Varennes, Director of the Asia-Pacific Centre for Human Rights and
