International Parliamentary Conference on “Parliaments, minorities and indigenous peoples: Effective participation in politics”.

The conference will give an opportunity for members of parliament to review the findings of the survey on the participation of minorities and indigenous communities, together with experts and representatives of minorities and indigenous peoples. The discussions should lead to the adoption of a plan of action to improve the participation of minorities and indigenous communities in politics.
