PROTECTION OF ROMANI LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
IN INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTS
Summary
Political changes in Europe in the last decades of the twentieth century encouraged the
process of adopting international instruments of minority protection and cultural diversity.
International Roma organizations, for the first time in European history, entered the
international stage as a subject in the process of European integration. Among scholars
and researchers across Europe interest in studying the language, history and culture of
Roma is growing, and a new scholarly discipline of Romology has developed. Major
priorities in the improvement of the situation of Roma are primarily directed towards
the goals of social integration and elimination of prejudices against Roma, which are
expressed through various forms of Romophobia or anti-Gypsyism across Europe. The
author discusses general principles of minority protection in Europe in the context of
human rights, and highlights the position of the Roma community as a specific issue in
the modern European system of minority protection. Primarily interested in the legal
framework that can serve to protect and develop the Romani language at the international
level, she focuses on the process of implementation of international documents of the
Council of Europe, namely the Framework Convention for the Protection of National
Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Although there
are some conflicting views concerning the role of the Romani language as a cohesive element
of Roma ethnic identity in expert circles and among some representatives of Roma
organisations, they all agree that the provisions of the Charter related to the protection of
non-territorial languages, particularly the recognition of these languages and protection
against discriminatory treatment, are extremely important for further development of the
Romani language.
