Mr Chair, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, It was a great honour and pleasure to spend these two days with you listening to your statements. I have been deeply moved by the often very personal testimonies of the minority representatives. We heard much that can further strengthen and inspire our draft recommendations and I can not make an attempt to summarize them due to the richness of our discussion and our short time left. I thank you for coming, listening and actively participating. The statements during this Forum show that there is a great diversity regarding the various challenges of minorities and the existing mechanisms and policies aimed to protect them and it is indeed very difficult to provide recommendations for each situation. But I am convinced that there are some underlying common challenges that all of us need to face and tackle. As it was highlighted during our discussions, the root problems are not police misconduct or inappropriate courtroom regulations per se – it is the prejudice and racism that lead to them.

We must look at our school textbooks and make sure what we teach to our children about the “others”, is in line with what the “others” would like to tell them about themselves. We must build a culture of listening and talking to each other by creating community places and spaces where people from various backgrounds can come together and discuss openly. We must develop proper channels of
