Informal International Consultative Meeting in the Area of Minority Issues
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 27 pages, pdf Description: In September 2002, senior representatives of intergovernmental and major nongovernmental institutions addressing minority issues gathered in Flensburg for a consultative meeting which sought to facilitate an informal exchange between the different organizations on emerging issues and strategies. As a follow up measure, the European Centre of Minority Issues (ECMI) held a second ‘Informal International Consultative Meeting of Major Actors in the Area of Minority Issues’, at ECMI Headquarters, Flensburg, Germany on 17 and 18 September 2004. Minority issues continue to gain prominence within the context of EU accession and within the context of the United Nations (UN)’s promotion of a human rights approach to programming and the World Bank’s focus on ‘Inclusion’.
