The Centers summary of the publication

The seventh Innocenti Global seminar, held in Florence in 199t ,
brought together participants with a wide range of experiences
and perspectives to discuss discrimination against ethnic
minorities immigrants and indigenous peoples and to suggest
how their needs can be better accommodated in programming
and advocacy. The Report emphasises participation, education
and empowerment and calls for systematic attention to be paid
to minority populations in all situation analyses. While it
recognises that the political climate in may countries can make
advocacy on behalf of minority groups difficult, it also stresses
that the near-universal ratification of the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child brings with it an obligation to speak out for
the rights of all children, and particularly the most disadvantaged.
