Talk:Union Académique Internationale

Official language of the union?
I checked the statutes and I didn't find any article stating that French is the official language of the union.

In Article 17 it solely stated that "in case of dispute, it is the French text of the present Statutes that shall be deemed to be valid."

This statement, however, presupposes the use of more than one language inside the association. The Wikipedia-article should mention which languages are accepted and used by the IAU and the kind of purposes they are used for.

See the 17 articles of the statutes here: uai-iua.org: Statutes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.173.124.34 (talk) 17:50, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

History
It couldn't hurt replacing the current, rather apologetic blurb about "longing for peace and understanding" with a proper history. This would entail mentioning the predecessor, the "International Association of Academies". Far from being a project to promote those lofty goals mentioned the new foundation was a French "revenge" project with the express purpose setting up a new union of academies lead by France that excluded German and Austrian academies. The German version of this page already contains some relevant info on this so translating parts of that might be a way to start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.95.144.134 (talk) 07:10, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
