Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The United Nations system has increased its attention to minority issues. In 2012, the Secretary-General established the United Nations network on racial discrimination and the protection of minorities in Policy Committee decision No. 2012/4 of 6 March 2012. It aims to enhance dialogue and cooperation across the United Nations system. In the guidance note of the Secretary-General on racial discrimination and protection of minorities based on the network's work, it is stated that: "efforts to improve sustainable human development and promote inclusion and stability are complemented and strengthened with better attention to the situation of minorities … participation of persons belonging to minorities is essential in the process of developing the post 2015 development agenda, with a view to ensuring that the resulting agenda advances non-discrimination and other human rights concerns of minorities."
