Abstracts

This article discusses the language policies of the European Union and the United Nations. The author has raised two main research questions, which are reflected in the aims of the article. The two principal aims are to demonstrate that the language policies of the EU and the UN are multilingualism policies as well as to present their corresponding and divergent elements based on their assumptions and objectives. At the beginning, the author presents the concepts of language policy and multilingualism, and then analyses all aspects of multilingualism in the EU and UN contexts. The author extensively presents the legal framework of multilingualism, its policies and the role of Member States in the promotion of multilingualism in both organisations. The final part of the article is devoted to a comparison of the two presented systems.
