Discusses the degree of endangerment, demographic and linguistic data, gross domestic product, government revitalization expenditures, and funding for minority languages, environmental protection and Indigenous affairs in 10 countries: Australia, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United States and Wales.
Analyzes the State's human rights obligations as found in the European Convention on Human Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Istanbul Convention, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and examines the challenges that prevent Sámi victims from accessing support services and the measures implemented to provide remedies to the problem.
