A/78/306 engagement and cooperation across all three pillars of the Organization. In response to the report of the Secretary-General entitled “Our Common Agenda” and with a view to building trust between people and institutions, the United Nations must contribute to efforts to better listen to, consult and engage with everyone. It is in that context that the United Nations network on racial discrimination and protection of minorities, which brings together 20 relevant United Nations departments, agencies, programmes and funds, provides a regular channel for exchange and cooperation between United Nations actors and for building expertise and guidance on key thematic issues of common concern. 69. Civil society, non-governmental organizations and representatives of minorities have a vital role to play in promoting the Declaration. In that regard, they must be able to participate effectively in the development, implementation and evaluation of national policies and strategies on the protection of minority rights. 70. Overall efforts to improve protection and prevent tension must involve society at large, both majorities and minorities, paying special attention to ensuring the participation of minority women, girls and young people. It is vital that future activities place even greater focus on the implementation of the Declaration along with other international human rights standards in order to address the complex problems minorities are facing. 71. The United Nations remains ready and seeks to build on the momentum generated by the commemorations of the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, the thirtieth anniversary of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in order to invigorate its promotion and protection capacities and continue to work towards the aim stated in the preamble to the Declaration, namely that the promotion and protection of the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities contribute to the political and social stability of States in which they live. 23-15674 17/17
