The Special Rapporteur encourages further research to fully understand their situation and calls for targeted actions to address their particular challenges. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 81 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Minority communities are not homogenous and it is important to understand the challenges facing those, including women, children and the elderly, whose needs, perceptions and expectations may vary. Older people, who may be first-generation immigrants, may have stronger linguistic and cultural ties than young people who have been brought up and educated in their country of residence. They may face greater challenges in learning and adapting to the national language and require culturally sensitive, affordable and accessible assistance. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |
