Which of the following methods of political participation was the MOST effective form of political participation in securing rights for minorities during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's? voting
violent protest
civil disobedience
writing to elected officials

Participants highlighted that:

States must ensure respect for human rights in general, including for a minimum level of economic, social and cultural rights. Speakers referred to the existing comprehensive UN human rights framework which guarantees equality and non-discrimination and the right to participate in decision-making. States have therefore not only a moral but also a legal obligation to ensure implementation of those rights.

Minorities and indigenous peoples must be consulted on all issues affecting their lives and give their prior, free and informed consent.  Consent was highlighted as particularly important, for example with respect to land issues and control over natural resources.

A continuous, substantive and multi-directional dialogue (between minorities and indigenous peoples themselves, with the majority population and with the authorities) is needed. Minorities and indigenous peoples should have substantive influence so that there is a shared ownership of the decisions taken;  and avoid mere symbolic participation, which creates frustration. It is therefore essential that participation mechanisms are regularly evaluated and adapted to prevailing circumstances.
