Drepturile Omului (Dec 2020)
Categorii de drepturi lingvistice ale minorităților și domeniile de aplicare ale acestora în documentele de drept internațional public
Abstract
The field of linguistic rights of minorities is a complex one, not only because the domain is at the intersection of several disciplines (human rights, sociolinguistic research, macro, meso and micro public policies), but also because its levels of implementation are numerous and multilayered. In order to be able to understand these areas and levels of concrete implementation, it is necessary to first identify the connections between the abstract meaning of linguistic policies – with its various levels of action – and their actual application, as transposed in the form of rights. A connection that can be highlighted by exemplifications of linguistic human rights included in documents of public international law. Based on those documents, one can outline the mentioned key areas of application: freedom of expression; religion; education; representative organizations of minorities; media; public administration and services; justice and judicial proceedings.
