Cari,

durante il mese di agosto (da 4 al 29) si terrano a Ginevra i lavori del "Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities.

Olga Cechurova e Marco Perduca, con l'aiuto di alcune altre persone hanno proveduto alla redazione di una serie di "statements" (alcuni - il 3 e l'11 sono ancora in corso di redazione e saranno pronti nei prossimi giorni).

Come dice Olga "obviously, the remarks are not only welcome, but also desired".

Quindi, chi avrebbe suggerimenti, modifiche, integrazioni da proporre è vivamente pregato di mandargli ad Olga (O.Cechurova).

Saluti, Olivier
