A/HRC/52/53 discrimination law; the convening of a summit on racial discrimination and protection of minorities in the context of peace, security and prevention; and engagement in a process of examining the normative basis on which minority rights are grounded, which may lead to a potential norm-strengthening process. 80. OHCHR will continue to support the participation of minorities, including less visible minorities, through its flagship Minorities Fellowship Programme and its senior fellowship programme. The new intersectionality component of the senior fellowship programme promotes diversity and inclusion while addressing persistent and multiple forms of discrimination. In order to maintain these programmes and expand them to more participants from minority communities, additional financial support would be needed. 81. OHCHR, as permanent Co-Chair of the United Nations network on racial discrimination and protection of minorities, will continue to enhance synergistic dialogue and cooperation within the United Nations on racial discrimination and protection of minorities. 82. United Nations international human rights mechanisms play a crucial role in advancing the rights of persons belonging to national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, and OHCHR will continue to support their essential work.
