Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 87
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, other reasons more linked to the institutionalized discrimination experienced by marginalized minorities may also play a more critical role in explaining the disparate experience of minorities in accessing humanitarian relief in post-disaster settings. For example, minority communities are often isolated from or mistrust the institutions, organizations and agencies responsible for emergency planning and response. As noted in the 2015 report of the Special Rapporteur (A/70/212) to the General Assembly, relations between minority communities and law enforcement are often problematic. Complaints of both over-policing and under-policing, along with allegations of police abuse are a common part of the minority experience. Given that these same agencies often play a fundamental role as first responders in times of humanitarian crises, the distrust of law enforcement and the justice system, and social and political isolation may pose barriers to effective relief efforts.
