provided to prison staff through programs that are developed with an aim to allow them to deal more adequately with people from different backgrounds. Mr. President, Diversity and pluralism pose no risk to our societies, but are a source of development, progress and peace. There may be many different ways in addressing the challenges that minorities face within their criminal justice systems, but irrespectively of national contexts they all should share a common objective: the promotion and protection of persons belonging to minorities and their integration into society. Austria will continue its strong engagement in this direction and we are confident that the ideas and recommendations voiced at this Forum will form a good basis for further progress. Thank you very much.
