The International Observatory on Language Rights

The International Observatory on Language Rights aims, on the one hand, to promote the vitality of minority language communities in Canada by urging these communities to take part in the development of their rights and, on the other hand, to acquaint other countries with the Canadian experience by sharing with them how Canada has dealt with its official languages problems. Conversely, the Observatory hopes to help Canadians gain better insight into the linguistic situation in other countries, thereby providing an opportunity to learn from their experience, and offering different problem-solving avenues.

Annals of Language Rights

There are many publications on language rights in Canada. While the Language Law Review helps to bring together in one place the literature on this subject, academic articles are also published in general purpose journals, books are published by various publishers, and court decisions are also published in general purpose casebooks, since there is no thematic collection on language rights.

Therefore, we felt it was essential to bring together information about these publications in one place. The Language Rights Yearbook therefore includes court decisions, books, periodical articles, legislative amendments dealing with language rights in Canada, reports of the Language Commissioners and other studies or reports on the subject. It should be noted, however, that despite our best efforts, this list may be incomplete.
