Abstract
The present article reviews international developments in 2021 which relate to cultural activities and facilities in the context of European minorities, not to mention mediarelated problems and– more broadly– freedom of expression. Among the highlights are the series of cases from the European Court of Human Rights; these specify the criteria for counteracting hate speech in public discourse and the rules for investigating alleged racial bias in the ill-treatment of members of national minorities by law enforcement bodies. The theme of strengthening the freedom of minority self-identification and pursuing two-way cultural exchange in diverse societies is also evident through the analysis of activities and the official documents issued by the UN Special Rapporteur on Cultural Rights, and monitoring organs within the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
