The Council of National Minorities is an advisory body that represents various ethnic and national groups within a country. Its primary role is to ensure that the interests and rights of these minority communities are considered in governmental policies and decisions. The council typically includes representatives from different minority groups, allowing for a diverse range of perspectives. This council often works to promote cultural diversity and social cohesion, fostering dialogue between minority communities and the government. It may also address issues such as discrimination, language rights, and access to education, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their background, have a voice in the political process.
