In the 30 years since the UN adopted the UN Declaration on Minority Rights, the Declaration remains the most instrumental tool in protecting minority rights. To mark this 30th year anniversary, UN Human Rights is celebrating with a year-long commemoration that will focus on the theme, All in 4 Minority Rights, by promoting the tenet that the rights of any person belonging to national or ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities contribute to the political and social stability and progress of States — important components to maintain peace and stability of society.
 
“Minority voices matter,” said Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in her video message to mark the anniversary. “Participation helps build peace and stability.”
