communities to its principles, so that they own the Declaration themselves; second, is the
value of translation and dissemination; third, is how central training has been in all three
examples; fourth, is the usefulness of packaging the Declaration in various ways, such as
policy briefs or guides, depending on the audience; and finally, is how critical the choice of
target audiences can be.
In Vietnam, iSEE targeted journalists as key opinion-formers. In Zimbabwe, ZOYP focused on
community groups and government officials. And in Moldova, the organisation Equality is
training professors and teachers. Each of these choices was strategic and was driven by the
needs of minorities themselves. And the Declaration has been equally relevant for each of
these audiences.
In conclusion, I should mention that there are other case studies described in our Guide,
which we are pleased to make available to participants here after today’s Session. We will be
showcasing further examples of successful use of the Declaration on our website. MRG
sincerely hopes that both the Guide and this online resource will assist minority
representatives around the world, as they continue to be inspired by the words contained in
the Declaration.
