ECUMENICAL FEDERATION OF CONSTANTINOPOLITANS Submission of Recommendation to the U.N. Human Rights 7th Minority Forum Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights- Geneva 25 November 2014 “Following mass violence pogroms carried out under the tolerance of law enforcement authorities by pre-organized attackers against persons belonging to minorities resulting, in their targeted expulsion and forceful displacement from their lands, States should take, both in the short and the longer run, the necessary measures to facilitate their return. These measures should include reparation schemes for their repatriation including to their predecessors, redress or compensation of their property, support of religious and educational institutions and others. The above measures could reduce vulnerability of the remaining shrinking minority population to violent attacks and enhance confidence building as well as post violence reconciliation between the State involved and the minority communities.” Communication: nnap@otenet.gr
