Reaffirming the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy of April 2018,

Desiring more minority involvement in the public sector and more participation in the decision

making process,

Taking note of rising intolerance towards minorities, especially those which differ ethnically,

racially and religiously from majority groups,

1. Encourages the implementation of awareness campaigns, especially in developing

countries, to sensitize the population, which is usually unaware of their biases, on:
a. The positive impact of minority inclusion on local economies and on the
wellbeing of individuals, as inclusive practices can make them feel safe and
welcome into the community and thus can facilitate entering the workforce,

b. The danger of hate crimes and their impact on minority populations and on
communities in general, such as degradation of mental wellbeing or
development of mutual hatred,

c. The importance of building a local community on a basis of inclusion in society
because this can help get everyone involved;

2. Encourages member states to implement a system of reservations for minorities in the

public sector, which allocates jobs to religious, ethnic or regional minorities on the basis
of their representation in the total population of the country, by which:

i. Employment would be given on the basis of merit and through a
transparent and inclusive process,
ii. A more representative workforce would be created, thus helping to
alleviate socially and economically restricted sections of society;

3. Proposes the strengthening of the Forum on Minority Issues to look into cases of minority
rights violations, to examine complaints and grievances from minorities, to assist them

in legal and administrative procedures, and to play the following roles:
a. Examining the overall situation of minorities,
b. Publishing regular and annual reports on the current situation of various minority
groups,

c. Advising member states on the condition of minority groups and proposing
solutions to relevant issues,
d. Becoming the global representative organisation for minority concerns and the

primary organisation representing minority groups,
e. Protecting the rights of any persecuted group whose rights, according to their
country’s constitution, have been violated, by:
