The contribution of the authorities could be to bring a perspective of respect
for all human beings into the public discourse rather than ‘take effective
action’, which gives connotations to censorship.
Third, we fully agree that relevant training of law enforcement and judicial
officials in minority rights, other human rights as well as cultural competence
are of great importance and support the recommendation of involving
minority groups in the production of these manuals and code of conducts.
Here, and finally, we would like to add a word of warning: minority women
may be subject to double discrimination – both because she is a woman and
part of a minority. This is a sesious concern we all need to be particulary aware
of.
Thank you, President.
