Madame Chair, in advancing political participation and enhancing capacities of minorities, the recognition of organisations and institutions establithed by minorities themselves also need to be respected and supported. Too often interference by States and others, on these organisations and institutions have occurred, effectively weakening effective and organised political participation in matters that affect the lives of persons belonging to minorities. ��� In.closing., I would like to say that I concur with the draft recommendations that the independent expert has elaborated in document A/HRC/FMI/2009/4. • Kotohuadan/Thank you.
