the currently prevailing regime. The ability of developing countries to use a mix of trade and investment policy
tools necessary for them to promote the full participation of minorities in their economies should be supported.
· Those States that have enjoyed a more powerful position in decision-making on global economic policies
have had greater responsibilities in causing, through their actions and omissions, a global economic crisis. This

to assure a just and sustainable way forward.

· Review and analyze the impacts of the financial and economic crisis on minorities, and cooperate with
governments and international institutions to bolster the design, implementation and monitoring of human
rights-led economic policy platforms.
· Establish a multi-stakeholder Group of Experts on human rights responses to economic and financial crises,
with the mandate to monitor economic policies, formulate recommendations on policy measures that could
mitigate the impacts of the global financial crisis as well as ensure that the negative effects of future crises on the
rights of minorities be prevented.
