For the above reasons, we welcome paragraph 20. a) of the draft recommendations, which stipulates that states should “at all times include respect, protection and fulfilment of minority rights as essential elements in their daily governance”. We think it is vital to detect and address serious non-compliance with obligations under domestic and international human rights law as a crisis prevention and impact mitigation tool. We also think that it is important for the UN to engage with the government of the respective State, in order to prevent further deterioration of human rights situation and help preserve the highest possible standard of minority protection. Therefore, we also welcome paragraph 22 b and c of the draft recommendations.
