The Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights is currently going through a process of being updated, 30 years after its creation. Excitingly, four(!) members of the LLIRN are part of the international team responsible for the update. Georgina Heydon (RMIT), Gerald Roche (La Trobe) and I are serving as members of the Drafting Committee and Loy Lising (Macquarie) is serving as a member of the Review Committee. An overview of the update process is available here: For an update of the UDLR - DUDL A crucial part of the process is happening right now: there is an open call for submissions/proposals from interested groups from around the world. This is you and your networks, organisations, and communities. There is information on the website about the process for making a submission and what types of inputs are requested, both in terms of amending current parts of the declaration, and potentially adding new sections: Participation in the project - DUDL As you'll see, there is the possibility to submit something as an individual expert or on behalf of a group or organisation. If you'd like our help identifying/assembling a group to make a submission relating to a particular provision or theme, or if you'd be interested in submitting something through the LLIRN, please do let us know and we will help how we can. Additionally, I warmly encourage you to share the call among your colleagues, networks and communities. While a number of submissions have already been received, there is still a long way to go to collect a truly diverse range of expertise and experiences from across the world. Submissions close on 31st December 2026. Best wishes and thanks, Laura [If you are using assistive technology, the message ends here.
