A/HRC/49/81 55. States should develop reconciliation and remembrance policies that address past intergroup violence and State oppression of minorities, including historical cases of genocide. Such public policies should be formulated with the participation of relevant minority groups. 56. States, United Nations mechanisms, bodies, specialized agencies, funds and programmes, international and regional organizations and mechanisms in the field of human rights, national human rights institutions and other relevant national bodies and NGOs should adopt a gender-responsive approach in all areas of their conflict prevention efforts by: (a) Recognizing the intersectionality of oppression of gender and identity in framing advocacy and interventions for minority women and addressing the vulnerability and marginalization of minority women in conflict and post-conflict situations through actionoriented efforts; (b) Promoting implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women; (c) Recognizing the vital role and leadership of minority women in conflict mediation and prevention, and supporting their initiatives; (d) Developing and implementing technical cooperation programmes and projects that are culturally, linguistically and religiously appropriate to minorities and aim to address the social and economic situation of minority women. 57. States, the United Nations and international and regional organizations should allocate adequate resources to conflict prevention efforts in general and in relation to the human rights of minorities in particular at both the international and domestic levels. 58. States, the United Nations, international and regional organizations and civil society are encouraged to work closely in supporting the positive contributions of faith‑based actors, including through the promotion of the Beirut Declaration and the faith for rights toolkit. 59. States and international and regional organizations must ensure the inclusion and meaningful and effective participation of minorities in conflict prevention and conflict analysis, as well as their representation at all levels of decision. The inclusion of minority women and youth should be specifically mainstreamed. 60. States, the United Nations, international and regional organizations and civil society are encouraged to organize forums, conferences and other activities aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence within societies and ensure there is balanced representation of States and the minority groups concerned in such initiatives. 61. The United Nations should continue to establish mechanisms for monitoring, collecting and preserving evidence of country-specific conflict situations and related atrocity crimes that consider the relevance of ethnic, religious or linguistic dimensions in such situations. 62. The United Nations and other international organizations are encouraged to share best practices on the promotion of intercultural and interreligious dialogue with States. 63. The United Nations is encouraged to establish regional high-level advisory bodies on minority issues in close cooperation with minorities. 64. The United Nations human rights mechanisms, bodies and specialized agencies, funds and programmes, need to ensure the inclusion of a minority lens in their conflict analysis work by: (a) Including minority actors in their work and deconstructing stereotypes attached to the capacity and objectivity of minority actors; (b) Supporting the work of minority organizations, especially those led by women and youth. Amplifying their voices and giving them the space, both financial and political, to do their work yields a significant impact, ensuring that minorities can stand up for their rights; 8
