Combating discrimination and inequality through the promotion of human rights should be central to all policy decisions. This involves prioritizing the protection and enhancement of meaningful participation for marginalized groups, including minorities, ensuring the comprehensive fulfilment of human rights and fostering environments where inequalities can be diminished. 81. OHCHR, as permanent Co-Chair of the United Nations network on racial discrimination and protection of minorities, continues to address issues of racial discrimination and the protection of national or ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities, including issues of multiple, aggravated and intersecting forms of discrimination, by promoting the mainstreaming and integration of minority rights across all pillars and activities of the United Nations. 82. Furthermore, OHCHR continues to support the participation of minorities, including less visible ones, in its flagship Minorities Fellowship Programme and its senior fellowship programme. In order to maintain these programmes and expand work on minority rights, additional financial support would be needed. 66 67 GE.25-00006 See https://press.un.org/en/2024/sgsm22332.doc.htm.
