Summary/Abstract: In the analyzed report, the Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Fernand de Varennes, briefly presents his activities in 2019 and 2020 to the General Assembly, highlighting the continuous work on the thematic priorities of statelessness, education and minority languages, hate speech targeting minorities in social media, as well as initiatives on a regional approach to minority issues, with a focus on the aspects of education, language and minority rights. The report also provides a thematic study on the significance and scope of the four categories of minorities – national or ethnic, religious and linguistic – tackling aspects of history, United Nations mechanisms and entities, approaches and views of the Member States, civil society organizations, minorities and other stakeholders. The Special Rapporteur concludes his report by making recommendations to guide the activities of his mandate in the field of human rights of persons belonging to minorities and to ensure a consistency in approaches regarding the categories of beneficiaries under the United Nations minority rights system.
