Observatory of Language Rights in Moncton (Canada), and UNESCOCAT in
Barcelona (Spain). This conference is part of a series of biannual
events organised through the International Academy of Linguistic Law
since 1984 when it was founded as an international multidisciplinary
organisation bringing together jurists, linguists, social scientists
and all those worldwide interested in world linguistic diversity, as
well as the relationship between law and language.

The General Scientific Committee of the Conference is formed by
Professors Fernand de Varennes, Kanya Hirunwattanapong, and Witoon
Sinsirichaveng, as well as by Professors Claudine Brohy, Denise

Woehrling (IALL-Scientific Committee).

CAD after this date. The price includes luxury accommodation for 4
nights, meals except a few evening meals, and the conference
registration fee. Transportation from and to Chiang Mai airport is
also included. Participants wishing accommodation for their partners
or family members who are not registered for the conference will have
to pay an extra charge. The price for students and participants from
Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America will be $350 CAD until
29 June or $400 after this date. For Thai students and participants
not requiring accommodation, the registration fee will be $70.

The working languages of the conference will be French, English and Thai.
