A/HRC/55/35 the fulfilment of human rights in all areas, and creating conditions in which inequalities can be reduced. The Secretary-General’s report “Our Common Agenda” stresses that destabilizing inequalities must be overcome to realize humanity’s hopes of breaking through to a greener, better, safer future.79 81. One of the best approaches to address inequality, which has a disproportionate impact on those in a situation of vulnerability, such as minority women and girls, children and youth, is the adoption of comprehensive anti-discrimination laws and policy frameworks. In order to be considered comprehensive, anti-discrimination legislation must prohibit all forms of discrimination on the basis of all grounds recognized in international law, in all areas of life regulated by law, provide for the effective enforcement of the right, and mandate positive actions to address historic or structural discrimination. 80 To ensure comprehensive protection, anti-discrimination legislation should also guarantee that multiple, aggravated and intersecting forms of discrimination are explicitly prohibited.81 82. OHCHR, as permanent Co-Chair of the United Nations network on racial discrimination and protection of minorities, will continue to address issues of racial discrimination and the protection of national or ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities, including issues of multiple, aggravated and intersecting forms of discrimination, by promoting the mainstreaming and integration of minority rights across all pillars and activities of the United Nations. 83. United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms play a vital role in advancing the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities. OHCHR will continue to support and promote their essential work. 84. OHCHR will also continue to support the participation of minorities, including less visible ones, in 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 work on minority rights, additional financial support would be needed. 79 80 81 GE.23-26212 See https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agendareport/assets/pdf/Common_Agenda_Report_English.pdf.
