Some 32 minority rights NGOs from the Council of Europe area have worked together and drafted a Declaration on the impact of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, with the aim to provide a strong NGO perspective on the FCNM’s impact to date, how implementation can be strengthened, ratification expanded and greater impact secured in the future. The Declaration contains specific recommendations for a variety of stakeholders involved with the Framework Convention such as the Advisory Committee, the Council of Ministers, CoE Member States, as well as civil society organizations.
Praxis joined this initiative and supported the Declaration, with the aim to make this document as strong as possible, and thus contribute to strengthening implementation of the Framework Convention across Europe.
