"to promote, by appropriate measures, mutual understanding between all the linguistic groups of the country and in particular the inclusion of respect, understanding and tolerance in relation to regional or minority languages among the objectives of education and training provided within their countries and encouragement of the mass media to pursue the same objective."

The Coucil of Europe supports the above. When have you seen the mass media pursue the objective? Never, so I'd say yes they do have their fair share in the results... of course doesn't excuse nor diminish in anyways the lack of policies towards the same objective, sometimes worse, policies intended to discourage or endanger the maintenance or development of it what the french gov has been and is engaged in but has hardly ever been criticised for doing so.

So I just meant the french mainstream medias state funded for the most part cannot pretend to be on the right side. They do have their ghosts and frankly, they don't mind the wrong as long as it does't make them feel unconfortable.

Always nice talking to you, it does help, do you have any state courts decisions I mean worldwide?

The education section states among a lot :
"to make arrangements to ensure the teaching of the history and the culture which is reflected by the regional or minority language"
I don't mind example of the teaching of the history and the culture. I know of the important things done in Wales but I wondered what you may have elsewhere?
