“…A kisebbségi nyelvek azonban nem feltétlenül hivatalos nyelvek is az adott államban, és sokszor a többségi állam "költséghatékonynak" tekinti a nyelvi asszimilációt. 41 A kisebbségek minél szélesebb körben szeretnék használni a saját nyelvüket, és az ehhez szükséges elismerést megkapni. Ezek az érdekellentétek konfliktusokat és jogvitákat szülnek.…”

Jelen tanulmány az Emberi Jogok Európai Bíróságának (EJEB) kisebbségeket érintő joggyakorlatát mutatja be. Az évtizedek alatt kialakult gazdag esetjog egyre konkrétabban ismert el kisebbségi jogokat az Emberi Jogok Európai Egyezményének égisze alatt. Ilyen különös jogok többek között az önmeghatározáshoz való jog, a kulturális jogok, a nyelvi jogok, a kisebbségekkel összefüggő egyesülési jog és véleménynyilvánítási szabadság. Az EJEB néhány ügyben már hivatkozott a kulturális sokféleségre is mint védendő értékre, emiatt elképzelhető, hogy a jövőben még szélesebb védelmet biztosít majd a kisebbségek tagjai számára.

“…Interestingly, some claim the "assimilationist character of the jurisprudence" worldwide which put the raison d'être (national unity, more precisely) above the minorities being able to exercise LHREs. 39 On the other hand, the CRC and CESCR Committees have emphasized the importance of programmes promoting bilingual education within indigenous peoples 40 and have called for the establishment of programmes to revitalize indigenous languages. 41 Moreover, the CERD Committee clearly stated that bilingual education initiatives should be an opportunity to consolidate the use of two languages rather than lose the native language in favour of the dominant one.…”

Linguistic Human Rights in Education

Linguistic human rights are a concept remaining on the crossroads of several scientific disciplines, e.g. linguistics, anthropology, psychology and, last but not least, human rights law. Taking the latter as a lens, this study seeks to clarify the concept of linguistic human rights in education – presumably, the most linguistically sensitive sphere in the life of individuals and communities. The paper demonstrates that despite little mention of language in the UN treaties (ICESCR, CRC, CERD, CADE), its importance is reflected in the practice of the relevant treaty-based bodies. Moreover, increasing interest from scholars across a range of disciplines is contributing to the development of a linguistic human rights doctrine and is penetrating the UN human rights framework.

“…The European Court of Human Rights has been strongly criticised for favouring assimilation over a more robust approach to minority language rights, 25 and in highlighting the instrumental function of language rather than its role in constituting identities. 26 The FCPNM was supposed to herald a new approach, with its emphasis on the protection and promotion of minority cultures and identities. It has, however, been criticised for not being sufficiently accommodationist because it does not include rights to autonomy or self-government, with unfavourable comparisons being made with the approach of the international human rights community to the rights of indigenous peoples.…”

Minority rights, integration and education in the Western Balkans

Using the lenses of minority rights and developments in education in the Western Balkans, this article analyses the adaptability of the European minority protection framework and identifies ongoing challenges in relation to its implementation. It focuses in particular on the balance between the accommodation of minority education rights and integration, arguing that there is an inherent flexibility within the European minority protection framework that has been used to good effect. It claims that a shift towards a more integrated approach to education in the Western Balkans was a necessity and one that strengthens rather than weakens the European minority protection framework. The argument is developed throughconsideration of the case studies of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where ongoing challenges remain.
