In light of these issues, Ogaden Resolve Coalition recommends that the following provision to be included in the draft resolution of the UN minority forum: 1. The UN establish a special mechanisms to encourage governments to allow full access to all regions, especially those where minority women are affected by violence, for Independent international NG0s, human rights monitors, diplomats, journalists and humanitarian organizations. Such mechanisms should aim to provide adequate protection, assistance and justice to minority women who have been victims of state-sponsored violence in conflict situations 2. The UN establishes a Special Rapporteur to monitor and recommend to the UNHRC action to enforce and provide protection, assistance and justice to minority women who have been victims of large-scale state-sponsored violence. Finally, Ogaden resolve requests that the UN special procedures, including the Independent Expert on Minority Issues,. extend their support to minority women suffering from state-sponsored violence such as those in the Ogaden. Thank you.
