Press Release MINOPTO INTERNATIONAL
Brussels —
Barely one month after obtaining a Belgian Royal Decree granting it full legal and moral personality as an international organization, the International Organization for the Protection of Minorities has initiated a broad process of engagement with human rights and minority protection actors worldwide.
Since its legal recognition, the organization has established communication with more than 200 human rights organizations across all continents, introducing its mandate and affirming its commitment to cooperation and coordinated action in support of human rights, with particular emphasis on the protection of minority communities.
As part of its institutional development, the International Organization for the Protection of Minorities has begun appointing members as official representatives in several countries. In parallel, the organization announces its intention to open membership in the near future to volunteers who wish to support its mission both materially and morally and to contribute to documentation efforts, human rights reports, and the collection of testimonies related to minority protection.
All collected documentation and testimonies will be consolidated and submitted to relevant international intergovernmental institutions, including the United Nations, the European Union institutions, the African Union, and other international bodies. This initiative aims to contribute to strengthening international monitoring, accountability, and protection mechanisms for minority communities.
The International Organization for the Protection of Minorities reiterates its commitment to the principles of international law, cooperation with international and regional mechanisms, transparency, and the promotion of human dignity. The organization will continue to provide updates on its activities and institutional developments in due course.
