PUBLICATIONS
Council of Europe Publications
......................
'Cities and regions: cultural diversity - A precondition for a united
Europe'. Access to culture is a universal right, and municipalities
and regions have a crucial role to play in contributing to effective
enjoyment of those rights, fully in keeping with the principle of
subsidiarity. To do so, however, they must also foster solidarity,
co-operation networks and partnerships between them. These
partnerships and cultural exchanges must be developed rapidly and on a
large scale in order to bridge the vast gaps remaining between the
various local and regional authorities. Price: � 13/ US$20, ISBN

The Human Rights Education Department of the European Roma Rights
Center will host a Roma Rights Summer University in Budapest from 7 to
14 July 2002. Its main goal is to assist in the formation of a new
generation of Romani leaders, human rights activists and
professionals, who can skilfully use international and domestic human
rights mechanisms to advance the interests of Roma, both domestically
and internationally. Also, assist participants in becoming familiar
with basic concepts of human rights and major problems in the area of
Roma rights. Applications are welcome from Romani individuals whose
command of English is of a level sufficient for productive
participation in workshops and seminars held in English, and who are
devoted to the issue of human rights. Applicants are preferably
university students of law, public administration and social sciences,
or hold a degree in such a field. For information on ERRC scholarships
for Romani students of law and public administration, see:
