Shortcomings, especially in the field of education, access to the media, use of minority languages in the public sphere, and participation of persons belonging to national minorities in public affairs. Minorities have no opportunity to participate in the planning of development of sound and viable national identity. Left out of the political process and access to decision-making and self-management. The huge gap between international norms, national laws and non-existent practice of use, especially at the local level. We would put our names under each of the findings of the global survey. All these challenges are relevant to people of Champa descent worldwide. For us it is not a statement of facts, but a call to action at the national level through the recognition of rights and the implementation of the articles of the Declaration on the rights of minorities. We call on independent experts on minority issues to ensure, through the UN Council on Human Rights at its 22nd session, for the Declaration and its articles to become indicators for the system of monitoring the situation of persons belonging to minorities at the national level, as well as for the UN treaty bodies. Thank you for attention.
