A/HRC/55/51 consider, when implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, persons belonging to minority groups as included in the “leave no one behind” pledge. Such persons are often among the worst off, as many face discrimination concerning the enjoyment of their socioeconomic rights, as was highlighted at the sixteenth session of the Forum on Minority Issues. 69. The Special Rapporteur invites States to exchange and cooperate with him on devising ways to make sure that minority issues will be properly integrated into the post-2030 agenda. 70. The Special Rapporteur invites the relevant special procedure mandate holders, treaty bodies and regional, as well as national, human rights protection mechanisms to positively receive his proposals for coordination and cooperation in order to enhance the realization of the rights of persons belonging to minority groups. 71. The Special Rapporteur calls upon OHCHR to help strengthen the links between his mandate and the network of minority fellows with the purpose of improving the implementation of minority rights everywhere. 72. The Special Rapporteur invites academic institutions worldwide to consider favourably his proposal to set up “minority issues breakthrough workshops” as the basis of a global academic network on minority issues. 16 GE.24-00944
