Dr Fernand de Varennes. Rapporteur spécial sortant des Nations Unies sur les questions relatives aux minorités - FormerUN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues.
Excellent analysis. https://t.co/rhVScvRME9
One clarification: the Chisinau process is continuation of Interlaken process to boost the margin of appreciation and limit the role of the ECHR in 'sensitive' areas after Lautsi v. Italy (religious minorities and state preferences)
The Chișinău Process: Dialogue or Duress? https://t.co/rhVScvRME9
Excellent text, but I would add Chisinau process is continuation of Interlaken, which was launched to boost margin of appreciation following religious minority case of Lautsi v. Italy...
Today we share insights from WP9: Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation 📣🌍
Led by ELEN, WP9 ensures FOSTERLANG results reach diverse audiences, raise awareness, and strengthen linguistic diversity across Europe.
#WP9#LinguisticCapital#MinoritisedLanguages
Interested in #minorityrights? (especially Acadians since we have challenging times with #languagerights being neglected). This is a great programme at #EURAC which I am very familiar with & highly recommend. It doesn't hurt it is in a very picturesque part of north Italy either!
Aux intéressés aux #droits des #minortés, y compris les #Acadiens compte tenu des défis énormes par rapport à nos droits linguistiques, voici un programme que je connais bien & que je recommande fortement. Ça ne fait pas de tort que ce soit dans une partie pittoresque d'Italie!
Roma Organizations Submit Urgent Communication to UN Experts on Discriminatory Measures and Rising Anti-Roma Hostility in Slovenia https://t.co/eDb7LvXCET
The ELEN General Assembly will host two FOSTERLANG workshops on how languages thrive through education and digital engagement — one on Catalan immersion education and another on youth, social media, and language promotion across Europe.
Jakarta Conference about to start. My message: international community & law are failing to maintain peace and stability. Injustices, nationalisms,& might makes right rule. Urgent reforms are needed to enforce human rights & international law to reverse conflicts & atrocities
Nous commençons à Djakarta.Demain mon message : la communauté & le droit international ne réussissent pas à maintenir paix & stabilité. Des réformes s'imposent pour renforcer droits humains & le droit international, sans quoi nous continuerons la dérive vers conflits & atrocités
Many thanks to @btselem for their courageous and important report, the first from an Israeli organisation and media concluding Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
They are joining @amnesty and thousands of organisations, including Palestinian organisations, scholars and jurists in reaching this "unequivocal conclusion" and in demanding an end to the genocide.
In addition to Gaza, @btselem report also focuses on the crimes committed in the occupied West Bank, including forcible transfer, and warn us all that Israel is “replicating in the West Bank - albeit on a smaller scale - some of the patterns it is implementing in Gaza."
Given Israel' s ongoing crack down on the work of Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations, @btselem needs the support from all around the world who believes in justice and accountability, in independent media, in courageous reporting.
We must end the genocide in Gaza. It should have ended months ago.
