9. Finally, for the recommendations to result in meaningful actions on the ground, needs, in my humble opinion, articulation of a proposed implementation framework, embedded in the body of the recommendations. This needs to have at least the following elements: An assessment of the implementation of the recommendations of past forums on minority issues, to try to identify good practices and failures, so as to be able to provide lessons going forward; ii. based on that, and for specific audiences (i.e. state, non-state and regional parties) develop how-tos on implementing each recommendation, so as to enable maximum impact, over a defined timeframe. In conclusion, I believe we need to go beyond just articulating the inherent goodness of minority rights, to demonstrating, through examples and evidence, the harms that await states themselves, where minorities are at risk, where inequalities are rampant, and unfreedoms routine, and the downward spiral that is usually the outcome of these conditions. Thank you Mr Chairperson.
