The principles of the Decration and the increasingly detailed content of standards of other
instruments combined with guides, recommendations and toolkits provide a practical way to
enhance implementation. This implementation will only be successful, however, if there is
sufficient level of information regarding minority rights and the duties that go with them for all
stakeholders. That states are primary actors entails that they not only have the obligation to
ensure that a framework and mechanisms are in place for effective protection of these rights,
but also that the awareness and knowledge of this is proactively promoted throughout the
society and its institutions. The UN and regional organizations such as the OSCE HCNM
and the CoE can support this process through expertise and dialogue, including in settings
such as this fifth Minority Forum.
