(6) To ensure minority representation in political decision making, alternative methods of representation, such as consociationalism, should be considered beyond traditional democratic models. (7) Country-specific legal frameworks should be developed to accommodate regional autonomy and other power-sharing arrangements to the advantage of minority groups. (8) In devising minority protection norms and the implementation thereof, attention must be paid to intersectional perspectives. The perception of women as the biological career of the ‘nation’ makes them not only the target of majoritarian oppression but also the victims of human rights violations within the minority group. The masculine power structure embedded in social, economic, and political institutions needs to be address – at both local and international levels. It is also for this reason that the class character of minority discourse should be addressed. While minorities across the world share some common concerns, experiences of minorities in the Global North and the Global South are quite different. (9) Minority issues should be given more prominence as part of the Universal Periodic Review process under the Human Rights Council. To that end, UN Declaration on Minorities needs to be mainstreamed within the UN Human Rights jurisprudence. (10) Despite wide-ranging commonalities in the way violation of minority rights leads to conflicts, each case is also informed by unique political and economic histories of respective states. Thus, in dealing with minority issues, country-specific measures should be developed in collaboration with local stakeholders albeit within the broader international framework. (11) And finally, it is time for a Minority Rights Treaty. The Treaty on its own will not solve all the problems overnight but it will surely pave new ways for a more robust system of accountability to the advantage of minorities. 4/4
