The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination is the centrepiece of international efforts to
address racial discrimination, defined in broad terms to include
discrimination based on skin colour, descent, ethnic, and national
origin. Victims of discrimination within the scope of the
Convention include minorities, indigenous peoples, non-citizens,
and caste or descent groups. Virtually all national societies are
diverse in terms of ethnicity or 'race' and none is free from
discrimination, making it one of the great issues of our time.
Against the background of international human rights standards and
mechanisms to counter racial and ethnic discrimination, this book
provides the first comprehensive legal analysis of the provisions
of the Convention on an article-by article basis. The book
addresses the place of the Convention within the broader framework
of United Nation's action against discrimination. The different
chapters analyse and discuss broad topics of race, ethnicity, and
international law, the genesis and drafting of the Convention, the
aims and objectives of the Convention in light of its preamble, and
principles of non-discrimination and equality. In particular, the
book includes a critical appraisal of the contribution of the
Convention to the eradication of racial discrimination. It also
reflects on whether there is scope for modification of the
substance or procedures of the Convention in light of challenges
arising from enhanced transnational population movements, the
intersection between discrimination on the ground of race and
discrimination against religious communities, and the intersection
of racial and gender-based discrimination.
