  • APPLICATION of the CHARTER in UKRAINE 2Nd Monitoring Cycle A
    Strasbourg, 15 January 2014 ECRML (2014) 3 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER IN UKRAINE 2nd monitoring cycle A. Report of the Committee of Experts on the Charter B. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the application of the Charter by Ukraine The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages provides for a control mechanism to evaluate how the Charter is applied in a State Party with a view to, where necessary, making recommendations for improving its language legislation, policy and practices. The central element of this procedure is the Committee of Experts, set up under Article 17 of the Charter. Its principal purpose is to report to the Committee of Ministers on its evaluation of compliance by a Party with its undertakings, to examine the real situation of regional or minority languages in the State and, where appropriate, to encourage the Party to gradually reach a higher level of commitment. To facilitate this task, the Committee of Ministers adopted, in accordance with Article 15, paragraph1, an outline for periodical reports that a Party is required to submit to the Secretary General. The report should be made public by the State. This outline requires the State to give an account of the concrete application of the Charter, the general policy for the languages protected under Part II and, in more precise terms, all measures that have been taken in application of the provisions chosen for each language protected under Part III of the Charter. The Committee of Experts’ first task is therefore to examine the information contained in the periodical report for all the relevant regional or minority languages on the territory of the State concerned.

  • Hutsulshchyna and Public Progress
    BULLETIN OF GEOGRAPHY SOCIO–ECONOMIC SERIES No. 14/2010 ANNA KIBYCH YURIY FEDKOVYCH CHERNIVTSI NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, UKRAINE HUTSULSHCHYNA AND PUBLIC PROGRESS DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10089-010-0013-2 ABSTRACT. The article describes the public-demographic changes in Hutsulshchyna in the light of political and economic surroundings of a changing Ukraine. There are indications proving that structural shifts in Hutsuls’ ethnic culture, caused by cultural globalization, are about to happen. Preservation of ethnographic features in present-day conditions, as well as Hutsuls’ adaptation to new social realities, appears to become a complex socio-cultural problem of this region of Ukraine. KEY WORDS: Ukraine, Hutsulshchyna, geography of culture, ethnic minorities. INTRODUCTION Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, its former constituent parts became independent states and simultaneously the subjects of a global community of nations. They have been exposed to the political, economic, and cultural influences from the side of the most technologically advanced societies, the wealthiest economies, and, first of all, the expansive culture of mass consumption. The post-Soviet nations have been subjected to the deep transformation processes in the area of ideology and economy. Moreover, their societies gained access to new technologies, various ‘modern’ devices, as well as to some different styles of thinking and ways of life. Ideological and political transformation was then accompanied by cultural changes, which can lead to the loss of some traditional characteristics and the reduction in the area of cultural diversity. This is the reason that the changes in the area of culture among the post-Soviet societies became the object of interest on the part of scientists, including geographers.
