TitleUNESCO's Preliminary Study on a Standard-setting Instrument to Protect Endangered Languages
Body
In August 2009 UNESCO published a preliminary study on the possibility of an international standard-setting instrument for the protection of indigenous and endangered languages. You can read it here: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0018/001836/183669e.pdf . Over the next two years UNESCO will be observing the effectiveness of current international instruments and will be deciding whether or not to set up something non-binding (such as a declaration or recommendation) or something legally binding (such as a convention). The Culture Commission of UNESCO’s General Conference will be debating this issue on Friday 16 October in Paris.
