• Description:
  The Polish minority is currently the largest national minority group in Lithuania. The main aim of this paper is to examine the extent of implementation of commitments under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. This document is recognised as one of the most important international law frameworks regulating the rights of national minority members. In this paper, three selected areas in which discrimination of the Polish minority has occurred will be summarised: access to education, to the media, and linguistic rights. The expiration of the law on national minorities in 2010 will be discussed as a crucial factor contributing to the increasing discrimination of Poles in Lithuania. Moreover, this study will be referring to the recommendations of the Council of Europe Advisory Committee.
