A/HRC/15/42 and minorities in arriving at solutions designed to address crimes and other community issues remained essential to progress. 12. As the OHCHR initiative on policing and minority communities evolves, it is expected that the next consultation will offer an opportunity to gather additional effective practices in policing and minority communities. Once a broad range of effective practices covering both normative standards and operational approaches are assembled, they will be compiled and shared to assist in ensuring the participation and representation of minorities in policing. B. Sixth meeting of the Inter-agency Group on Minority Issues 13. OHCHR hosted the sixth meeting of the Inter-agency Group on Minorities on 18 May 2010. The Group aims to contribute to coordinated progress in the field of minority rights pursuant to article 9 of the Declaration, which calls on specialized agencies and other organizations of the United Nations system to contribute to the full realization of the rights and principles set forth in the Declaration within their respective fields of competence. In addition to several OHCHR staff members working in areas relevant to the Group, representatives of the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, ILO and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) also took part in the meeting. 14. The meeting of the Group offered, inter alia, an opportunity for the coordination of measures to improve the implementation of the Declaration. The measures discussed included: (a) Encouraging agencies, programmes, funds and departments of the United Nations to support the implementation of recommendations arising out of the Forum on Minority Issues. To this end, IPU cited the organization, in accordance with a recommendation of the Forum, of an international conference entitled “Promoting inclusive parliaments: the representation of minorities and indigenous peoples in Parliament”, to be held in November 2010; (b) The finalization of a publication entitled “Marginalized minorities in development programming: a UNDP resource guide and toolkit”, to respond to minority issues in development processes (the UNDP representative informed the participants that the guide had been completed and its launch and roll-out were being planned. It is expected that the guide will be used as a reference document in many agencies of the United Nations system); (c) Follow-up to Council resolution 13/12 on the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities. (Participants expressed their satisfaction that, in the resolution, the Council welcomed the interagency cooperation of United Nations agencies, funds and programmes on minority issues, led by the Office of the High Commissioner, and urged them to further increase their cooperation.); (d) The revision, by participants, of draft terms of reference for the Group, to be adopted at its next meeting. C. Second session of the Forum on Minority Issues 15. Consistent with the concern regarding participation of persons belonging to minorities, and pursuant to Council resolution 6/15, the second session of the Forum on Minority Issues, held on 12 and 13 November 2009, focused on the issue of minorities and effective political participation. A key reference for the session was article 2 (2) of the GE.10-14893 5
