A/HRC/32/15
121. The recommendations below did not enjoy the support of Latvia and would
thus be noted:
121.1
Implement public policies which guarantee to members of linguistic
minorities the enjoyment of all their human rights, including the revision of the
Law on Languages and the repeal of those articles which might impair their
rights (Paraguay);
121.2
Review the law on state language, which discriminates against
linguistic minorities in access to the labour market and ensure that appeals
from those who do not master the Latvian language sufficiently are considered
by state bodies, through providing them an opportunity to use their mother
tongue before state bodies (Russian Federation);
121.3
Provide the opportunity to use personal names, place names, street
names and other geographical indications in minority languages, as well as
enabling the contact with the authorities in minority language on the territories
where a significant part of the population belongs to those minorities
(Hungary).
122. All conclusions and/or recommendations contained in the present report reflect
the position of the submitting State(s) and/or the State under review. They should not
be construed as endorsed by the Working Group as a whole.
