# MOST Journal on Multicultural Societies Vol 3, No 2: "The Human
Rights of Linguistic Minorities and Language Policies" (Editor:
Fernand de Varennes)
The MOST Journal on Multicultural Societies has published a new
thematic issue on the human rights of linguistic minorities and
language policies. It is available on the Internet at
http://www.unesco.org/most/vl3n2edi.htm.
A previous issue of this Journal (Vol. 3, No 1) has addressed legal
aspects of linguistic diversity and, particularly, of the protection
of linguistic minorities by focussing on the emerging law of European
institutions, including the Council of Europe and the European Union.
The current issue, edited by Fernand de Varennes, continues this theme
by analyzing linguistic rights from a comparative perspective. It
emphasizes the similarity of problems faced by governments in adopting
linguistic legislation in different regions. At the same time, it
highlights specific historical conditions leading to regional
differences in the governments' regulation of language use. The new
thematic issue includes the following articles:
- Editorial by Matthias Koenig
- Thematic Introduction by Fernand de Varennes
- "The European Union and Minority Language Rights" by Niamh Nic
Shuibhne
- "Language Rights and Minorities in South Africa" by Kristin Henrard
- "OSCE Developments and Linguistic Minorities" by Sally Holt and John
Packer
- "Language Policies in Central Asia" by Birgit N. Schlyter
- "The Development of Language Legislation in the Baltic States" by
Boris Tsilevich
