communication where all of our voices can be heard. So we can realize that our problems, aspirations and hopes from life are the exact same regardless our identity. We want to live with human dignity and in peace. And we must re-built our trust and faith in each other and in our institutions. I recognize that we live in an increasingly insecure world in which anyone can become a target without having any interest or direct involvement in politics, conflicts or war. Innocent people, mothers going to church, mosque, temple, funeral, wedding, concert, restaurant or for a walk can become a victim of violence, including sexual violence, and incomprehensive, senseless and ruthless attacks. But we should not let us being trapped in simplified narratives and generalizations and start to fear, question and eventually hate our very own neighbours who might look, speak or pray differently. Fear is often forcibly and manipulatively constructed by the media and we must resist that this often distorted picture of reality defines our thinking and our actions. I hope that you leave this Forum with a positive spirit, feeling enriched and inspired to continue your important work on minority rights. There is a long way to go but I believe the recommendations of this Forum also show us some light and will help guiding us through to improve our justice systems so it becomes just, equal, fair and respectful to the human rights and human dignity of all of us. The Forum is indeed the only place in the UN where we can talk about minority issues so openly, candidly, where minority communities once a year can come for only 2 days to get their voices heard and I do hope that you value this as a special privilege we al have. I thank Member States for listening patiently and having replied in peaceful and constructive manners and also for civil society organizations for speaking in the cooperative and friendly spirit of the Forum. Let me thank our Chair for his excellent leadership of this Forum, the Secretariat and my team in the background who have been working extremely hard for several months to make this Forum run smoothly and successfully and our interpreters for ensuring that we can indeed not only listened to but understand each other. With this, I thank you once again for being here and I am looking forward to continuing working with each and all of you for the benefits of minorities worldwide.
