A/HRC/52/71 66. The Forum on Business and Human Rights and the Forum on Minority Issues should make joint efforts to create a joint discussion about business and the human rights of minorities. 67. The Forum on Minority Issues should strengthen its efforts to provide a platform for cooperation and dialogue on human rights. 68. Members of civil society, including those belonging to minority groups, should shift from competition to solidarity, which may also include creating an online global platform that would allow civil society organizations to connect, to be informed about existing initiatives, and ultimately to create opportunities to build solidarity so that they can avoid working in silos. 69. In order to maximize its effectiveness in the field of minority rights protection, the United Nations should specifically target the regional specificities of minority rights situations by creating stronger partnerships and increased synergies with intergovernmental or transnational organizations at the regional level. 70. Regional intergovernmental organizations should increase their efforts to further the recognition, promotion and protection of minority rights and ensure monitoring and reporting on their implementation. 71. The United Nations network on racial discrimination and protection of minorities should be more strongly engaged with the Forum on Minority Issues, which might include reporting to the Forum about minority-related activities conducted by each United Nations agency. VI. Recommendations to respond to the urgent situations faced by minorities 72. States, the United Nations, international and regional organizations and civil society should prioritize their efforts to develop social cohesion and resilience, and to empower people and communities to recognize and respond to warning signs long before hate crimes against minorities take place. 73. States should develop effective mechanisms or strengthen existing mechanisms to identify, respond to and impose sanctions for hate speech and incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence targeting ethnic or national, religious and linguistic minorities, including online and on social media platforms. 74. States should strengthen their efforts to address loopholes in, and lack of effective enforcement of, legislation and tolerance of the forced marriage of minority women and girls, the incidence of abduction of minority girls and their forced conversion in connection with a forced marriage. 75. States should ensure that language policies are not based on the idea that minority identities are a threat and must ensure that the policies are developed in effective consultation with minority representatives and that they do not limit the rights of minorities to preserve and develop their identity. 76. States should increase their quotas to grant asylum to more refugees with minority backgrounds in their respective countries and to allow special concessions for refugees with minority backgrounds who may not have proper travel and identification documentation owing to the conditions from which they were forced to flee. 77. The United Nations and States should initiate consultations with minority organizations on practical action for the protection of minority representatives suffering from systematically targeted violent attacks. 78. The United Nations, States and international and regional organizations should strengthen their efforts to provide rehabilitation support to minority representatives who have survived gross human rights violations. 8 GE.22-29477
