It was on 18th December, 1992 that the United Nations adopted and promulgated the Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities declaring that :

"States shall protect the existence of the national or ethnic, cultural,

religious and linguistic identity of minorities within their respective

territories and encourage conditions for the promotion of that identity"

Accordingly, the National Commission for Minorities has been observing the 18thDecember as the Minorities Rights Day every year.
