INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2006 

School of Law, Swansea University sponsored by the Council of Europe and the
Welsh Language Board 

"The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages: Legal Challenges and
Opportunities"

Swansea University, Wales, UK
20-21 November 2006

CALL FOR PAPERS

With five years since the United Kingdom ratified the European Charter for
Regional or Minority Languages, this Conference intends to take stock and assess
the impact of the Charter by exploring its legal implications for all those
states which are party to it. The conference will consider the significance of
the Charter for lawyers, and how lawyers and legal institutions can promote the
Charter‘s aims and objectives. The remit of the conference includes all legal
aspects of the Charter, and likely topics include: 

   * Implementation within and impact upon domestic law. 

   * The potential legal implications of non-compliance, 
     and the justiciability of the Charter. 

   * The Charter's position and status within European and 
     International Law and jurisprudence. 

   * The Charter‘s relationship with other international 
     treaties and instruments concerned with minority language 
     rights. 

   * The contribution of the Charter towards the wider development 
     of minority language protection. 

The organisers welcome proposals from potential speakers on these and other
topics broadly related to the overall theme. 

It is planned that selected papers will be published in an edited volume under
the imprint of the Council of Europe 

Any enquiries, along with abstracts of papers (300 words max.) should be sent via
email attachment, before 31 July 2006, to Mr Gwyn Parry
(R.G.Parry at swansea.ac.uk). For further information on the School of Law and the
University at Swansea please visit www.swansea.ac.uk. 

The working languages of the Conference will be Welsh, English and French.
