How could a Parliamentary Assembly help to give minorities and indigenous peoples a voice?

Representatives of indigenous peoples and minorities could be elected as delegates of a Parliamentary Assembly through the regular election procedure. In addition, a certain number of seats that are filled through a special procedure could be reserved for representatives of indigenous peoples and minorities. Additionally, the assembly could establish committees on indigenous and minority affairs that would help to bring more public attention to indigenous concerns.
