Englisch ja - Minderheitensprachen nein: Stellungnahme des Minderheitenrates zum Gerichtsverfassungsgesetz
18.10.2024
Der Minderheitenrat der vier autochthonen nationalen Minderheiten und Volksgruppen Deutschlands sieht in der derzeitigen Regelung des Paragraphen 184 des Gerichtsverfassungsgesetzes ein erhebliches Defizit in Bezug auf die sprachliche Gleichstellung der anerkannten Minderheiten. Es ist bedauerlich, dass es Minderheitenangehörigen nicht möglich ist, vor Gericht Dokumente in ihren Sprachen – Dänisch, Nordfriesisch, Saterfriesisch und Niederdeutsch – einzureichen, ohne auf eigene Kosten Übersetzungen anfertigen zu lassen. Dies stellt eine unnötige Hürde dar und widerspricht dem Anspruch auf Gleichberechtigung, die im Rahmen der deutschen Minderheitenpolitik geschützt werden sollte.
