Canadian Delegation to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (SECO)
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) hosted an online event for the 25th Anniversary of The Hague Recommendations regarding the Education Rights of National Minorities. The event was organized under the auspices of the High Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM), who has been working on conflict prevention with regard to tensions involving national minority issues for 25 years.
The event aimed, in part, to shed light on the principles of the Hague Recommendations and reflect on the application of these recommendations with a view to discussing ways to improve their operationalization. It also highlighted good practices in multilingual education and to explore ways to actively engage with youth as the main target group.
The Honourable Patricia Bovey, Senator, represented the Canadian Delegation to the OSCE PA. She outlined Canada’s policy commitments to Indigenous and francophone education and spoke about the trauma which the residential school system inflicted on generations of Indigenous peoples.
