Notes

1. See, for instance, the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (1989) (International Labour Organisation, Citation1996–2014), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (United Nations Human Rights, Citation1989) and the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (United Nations Human Rights, Citation1990).

2. The idea of the monolingual monocultural state was a myth even at the time of the consolidation of the modern nation state. As Hobsbawm (Citation1996, p. 1066) noted, this ‘imagined community … would have surprised the founders of the original nation states. For them, the unity of the nation was political and not socio-anthropological’.

3. See Liddicoat and Curnow (Citation2014) for additional examples.
