4 mechanism since most conflicts today involve minorities. Some of you have suggested also that the UN should have other institutional approaches and resources to address minority issues, such as a High-level Advisory Panel, or a Permanent Forum such as there is for indigenous peoples and for people of African-descent. As someone asked me directly, why is the UN discriminating against minorities and not providing a similar level of support as for these groups? There are many other very significant matters raised which will appear in my final report to the UN Human Rights Council. In finishing, a few other matters. Many of you have emphasized the need and importance in supporting a regional approach to the forums, since Geneva is not always very accessible for many minorities and their representative. I can assure you that the intent is to continue with four regional forums next year so that we can be more accessible, more reflective of the reality and different contexts around the world, and to enrich and enliven the dialogues and exchanges helping to produce the recommendations which will emanate from the regions and eventually the forum here in Geneva. There have been today and yesterday clear and constructive recommendations along these lines, and the OHCHR team members and volunteers are still in the process of identifying and preparing these. Please make sure the Secretariat received your statements. I will say that already you have provided rich, highly relevant, and useful suggestions which I have no doubt will help even further achieve these objectives.
