Minority Language Rights in International Law

Abstract

The provision of legislative or other legal protection for linguistic minorities is widespread in domestic legal systems.1In international law, and in international human rights law in particular, the question of minority language rights has until recently received much less attention. The entry into force on 1 March 1998 of the Council of Europe'sEuropean Charter for Regional or Minority Languages(the “Minority Languages Charter”), the first international instrument directed solely at the question of language, suggests that the situation may be changing.
