A/HRC/55/51 organizations.40 The Special Rapporteur is convinced that, with the help of both a call for input and the use of computational diplomacy tools,41 he will be able to show a much richer attention to minority issues than is usually reported. 61. In an important thematic report, which will come quite late in his term of office, the Special Rapporteur will focus on the inclusion of minority issues in the post-2030 agenda. 62. Article 8 (4) of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities states that nothing in the Declaration may be construed as permitting any activity contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations, including sovereign equality, territorial integrity and political independence of States. In the thematic report, the Special Rapporteur will examine to whom this provision is addressed and what it means in practice in the field of minority issues. 63. In the preparation of all those reports, the Special Rapporteur will issue calls for input and organize, as the need arises, meetings with stakeholders and academic events discussing the issues at stake. VII. Conclusions and recommendations 64. From the foregoing, it is apparent that the Special Rapporteur insists, as the General Assembly did when adopting resolution 217 C (III) in 1948, on the complexity of minority issues. His conviction is that, in most cases, seeking simple and uniform solutions will not do justice to the specific situations and needs of persons belonging to a minority. That acknowledgment will lead to nuanced appreciation and small-step approaches, instead of an attempt to broadly tackle minority issues at a global level. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, that differentiated approach to minority issues in each State in which they arise is in line with the United Nations approach to minority rights and constitutes a specific and important contribution to the universality of human rights. 65. The Special Rapporteur also feels the need to address the views of majoritarian populations with regard to minority issues, which has not received a great deal of attention so far. It is naturally the needs and legitimate expectations of persons belonging to minorities to enjoy the full respect of their human rights that is at the core of the mandate, but to have these persons’ rights properly implemented, the specific needs of persons belonging to a minority need to be understood and acknowledged by the whole population of each State. That is why, without diminishing consideration for the voice of minorities, the Special Rapporteur, as explained in his vision for the mandate, wants to address minority issues as issues concerning society as a whole. 66. The Special Rapporteur invites States to consider, at a forthcoming session of the Human Rights Council, extending the duration of the annual session of the Forum on Minorities Issues to three days instead of the two days at present. 67. The Special Rapporteur also invites States to support the development of regular sessions of two regional minority forums each year, on a rotating basis, so that all regions have a regional forum every two or three years. He calls upon States to help in the organization of such regional minority forums, either by proposing to host, with the Special Rapporteur, a session of a regional minority forum in their country or, by supporting through a voluntary financial contribution to the mandate, the organization of and participation in such forums. 68. The Special Rapporteur reiterates and endorses the call made to States by the previous Special Rapporteur in his report to the Human Rights Council in 202342 to 40 41 42 GE.24-00944 Article 9 of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities states that the specialized agencies and other organizations of the United Nations system shall contribute to the full realization of the rights and principles set forth in the Declaration, within their respective fields of competence.
