Legal Challenges:
1- In most cases, there is no integration of international conventions
and instruments in local laws and regulations. In many cases,
there are major contradictions in the legal systems with basic
human rights values.
2- Legal authorities do not provide platforms and procedures that
deal with violations and discriminations against minorities.
3- Lawmakers, judges and judiciary staff are not educated, prepared
or aware of the issues related to minorities' rights.
Cultural Challenges:
1- There are no efforts at all directed towards education,
propagation and awareness of minorities and their rights. This
lead to misinformation and stereotyping about minorities.
2- There is very little interchange between different social groups,
especially minorities, such as intermarriages, intercommunications
and so on, mainly within tribal and regional restrictive societies.
3- No-tolerance social environment always creates an atmosphere of
hate and mistrust, which justifies intimations to minorities and
violations of their rights.
Local Organizations and Communities:
1- National human rights organizations mostly follow official
guidelines and don’t have independent agenda on the issues of
minorities and implementation of the declaration.
2- Minorities groups are not aware of their rights and methods to
protect them, and in many cases, some of them they even hide
their affiliations as a measure of protection.
