But if this is about national sign languages, why should the UN care about it?
And a UN recognized sign language doesn't need to be the only one. Just the language that can be used so deaf/mute/etc people over the world can understand each other. If we expect our children to learn foreign languages, why not provide the same for sign languages? And if you need an international sign language, the UN is the best place to make one. And that doesn't affect currently existing sign languages.
