WORKSHOP REPORT ON STANDARD-SETTING INSTRUMENTS UNESCO’S ROLE UNESCO, as the lead Agency for the International Year of Languages, has a responsibility to stimulate international action of a concrete nature with respect to the international safeguarding of linguistic diversity and in guaranteeing language rights. UNESCO’s mandate, especially the fields of human rights and culture, enables it to take a co-ordinating role in this domain. UNESCO should urge Member States to fulfil their existing obligations under international treaties to protect and promote minority linguistic rights and linguistic diversity. THE ROLE OF VARIOUS ACTORS WITH RESPECT TO SAFEGUARDING LANGUAGES In view of the cross-cutting nature of safeguarding languages, UNESCO should foster its cooperation in this specific domain with other agencies of the UN. It is the responsibility of the State to develop an effective language policy at the national level (based on agreed criteria) with special concentration on endangered languages. States also have a responsibility to enable citizens and communities that have shown a commitment to develop their language and culture. This community empowerment could also take the form of public and private partnerships. Linguistic communities have a concomitant responsibility to seek such assistance. All States should adopt language policies that favour multilingualism and plurilingualism. States and communities should target children and youth, ensuring that opportunities exist for the encouragement and promotion of inter-generational transmission of language. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Language learning at the sub-national, national and extra-national levels enhances cultural awareness, societal participation, social cohesion, intercultural competence and mutual understanding and respect. This enriches the whole of society. Recognition of cultural and linguistic rights has the potential to enhance political stability and contribute to sustainable development. 273
