1. States should review progress made by marginalised minority groups in relation to each of the MDGs. The findings of these reviews should be used in the preparation of new strategies and budgets for development under the post-2015 framework. 2. UN agencies should support governments in evaluating the impact of MDGs policies on minorities. UN agencies can offer technical cooperation on minority rights standards to governments in the preparation of new strategies under the post-2015 framework and more generally in human rights impact assessments. 3. The post-2015 framework should restate the commitments of the Millennium Declaration, paragraph 25, on the protection of minority rights. The new framework should reflect minority rights standards, including mechanisms for participation of minorities in decision-making on development that affects them. 4. The post-2015 framework should include indicators that will monitor the progress of minorities towards the new global goals on development. These indicators should include analysis of intersecting forms of discrimination. This data should be collected in a manner that is consistent with the rights of minorities. Thank you Madame Chair.
