The Special Rapporteur invites States, the United Nations and the Human Rights Council to strengthen the Forum on Minority Issues by increasing the number of days on which it meets and the funding for its operations, and to ensure an intersectional dimension to its sessions. This should extend to the support and resources for the organization of regional forums. 73.
