proven by cases of xenophobia, "hate speech" and intolerance. In our view, young generations education to human rights, as well as promotion of intercultural and inter-religious dialogue are the most effective ways to defuse those threats. (We strongly believe that Education to human rights contributes to promoting the respect for human dignity and for diversity, to fostering the culture of dialogue and mutual understanding, to strengthening the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms by the institutions and civil society a o with respect to minorities. For this reason, we have always supported the campaigns promoted to this scope by the United Nations and other regional organizations, including the Council of Europe). Italy also conducts activities to train staff belonging to "law enforcement bodies". I refer in particular to the training activities promoted by the Centre of Excellence for Stability Police Units, established in 2005 in Vicenza, which include specific modules on the promotion of human rights and protection of minorities. At the political level, we believe that it is necessary to include minorities in the Institutions' decision-making process as a perspective of "rule of law" and not only as emergency measure. Minorities should not only be considered as potential victims of human rights violations, but also as actors in peace building process. Indeed, they should be included in post-conflict mediation and reconciliation process, since inclusiveness is the only way to ensure sustainable peace and development.
