A/HRC/43/47 80. He recommends in particular that OHCHR, other United Nations entities, and the treaty bodies and special procedures review how they publicly describe who is considered a minority so as to avoid confusion and contradiction within the United Nations. The Special Rapporteur urges avoidance of the use of definitions that had previously been rejected by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. B. Recommendations relating to education, language and the human rights of minorities 81. The Special Rapporteur recommends that, as part of his mandate on minority issues, a series of practical guidelines be drafted to provide concrete guidance on the content and implementation of the human rights of minorities and the use of their languages in the field of education. These are to be more focused than, but built upon, the basic principles already identified in the Language Rights of Linguistic Minorities: A Practical Guide for Implementation. 82. Given the prominence and importance of language for the identity of linguistic minorities and the numerous examples of good practices shared with the Special Rapporteur by States and other stakeholders in response to the questionnaire on this topic,22 he further recommends that the guidance document be made available in all six official languages of the United Nations, and be widely circulated to interested parties both within the United Nations and with other international and regional organizations and civil society organizations. C. Recommendations relating to the Forum on Minority Issues and the regional forums 83. The Special Rapporteur reiterates the call made by numerous participants at the Forum on Minority Issues and in the three regional forums, and recommends the consolidation and institutionalization of a regional approach to the constructive dialogue between all stakeholders on minority issues. He recommends specifically that OHCHR and other interested parties consider practical means to ensure and support, under the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on minority issues, the annual organization of four regional forums to ensure that regional voices and contexts are more fully presented and can complement more effectively the Forum on Minority Issues as a platform for promoting dialogue and cooperation on issues pertaining to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, and for the further implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities. D. Other recommendations 84. The Special Rapporteur noted the recommendation that was often raised during the regional forums and other activities, that the human rights of minorities be highlighted more frequently and that a more detailed approach be considered in their recognition and protection within the United Nations system. He recommends in particular that OHCHR, in collaboration with the Special Rapporteur, consider setting up a working group to examine the possibility of establishing a future instrument on the human rights of minorities, along the same lines as those for other marginalized or vulnerable segments of society, such as migrants, persons with disabilities and women. 22 See the annex for a sample questionnaire and a list of contributors. 17
