Petition to UNESCO - Against Discrimination of Macedonian Language

Petition to UNESCO - Against erasing Macedonian Language

Dear Ms. BOKOVA, Director General of UNESCO,

We, the undersigned, citizens of the Republic of Macedonia and Macedonians, and other pravdoljubivi people from all parts of the world, we are appealing the requirement to prevent discrimination that is made of the Macedonian nation and Macedonian language.

We urge you as the highest institution responsible for the care and protection of culture and heritage in the world. We expect to engage in ispravanjeto the injustice which for years has been applied to the Macedonian people and to provide permanent protection of the Macedonian language and cultural identity as part of world cultural heritage.

Already last twenty years the Macedonian international hell! Republic of Macedonia as a country is locked into the process of joining NATO and the EU as its strategic benchmarks, but also in normal communication with the world. As you probably know, it prozleze opposition from Greece, which challenge the use of the word Macedonia for our country, and in further negotiations and all the adjectives for people, language and everything else associated with it.

Macedonia joined the United Nations amid fearsome pressure and blackmail its existence, under the reference ˝ Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the ˝ 1993, by Resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations under br.47/225, which was extremely controversial ˝ and politicized agreement ˝, as stated in the official electronic publication of UNTERM - Multilingvalnata file terminology of the United Nations.

Macedonians living in Macedonia, but those from the diaspora, are exposed to constant denial, humiliation and discrimination regarding fundamental human right to self-nurturing and preserving their cultural identity.

The immediate reason for the petition was re-extinction of the Macedonian language column in the electronic edition of the official UNTERM because, as stated by them, administrative officer of a mistake? The error is now corrected, but again under the Nationality standing broad description derived from the reference, instead of the word Macedonian ˝ ˝.

Collecting signatures in support of the petition started on the International Day for Tolerance, November 16, 2010, the capital of Macedonia, Skopje, and in other cities of the country, as well as electronically. Initiator of the petition is home, as a civil, Green Party of which the principle of nondiscrimination is one of the fundamental.

We wonder:
How long will all this take? By the time a clerk in the UN or elsewhere, you can delete, rename obezimenuva Macedonian nation, Macedonian language and Macedonian identity when he emerges from the right of self-identification?
Is the pivot of international law protects everyone equally, or have double standards - one for stronger, others weaker for? What remains then of justice as the highest ideal?
What about all the conventions, declarations and resolutions that carry the UN to preserve human rights and cultural heritage, and against discrimination of every individual and group on any basis?
Why is UNESCO, as the highest organization for the protection of culture and cultural heritage, where each language is defined as a spiritual heritage? So then why was 2008 so declared the Year of languages, not missing smaller languages, because they would have disappeared and some of the world cultural heritage? Is vain and Macedonians took part in the celebration through the Year of Macedonian language?

Dear Ms. BOKOVA, we believe that the principle of nondiscrimination is the basis of the existence of the organization headed by you. Therefore, we appeal to you personally to occupy the Macedonian language and cultural identity and to stop the injustice that is inflicted on a peaceful people!

Remain with respect.
