Abstract

Abstract The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is the principal treaty of the United Nations system concerning racial discrimination. Its origins can be traced to initiatives within the Sub-Commission on Human Rights prompted by the ‘swastika epidemic’ in developed countries of late 1959 and early 1960. It led to adoption of a General Assembly Declaration in 1963. The new African members of the United Nations pushed for adoption of a treaty. It was quickly drafted and adopted in 1965. The Convention defines racial discrimination and imposes various obligations, including the suppression of incitement to racist hatred. The Convention is monitored by the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, an expert body that receives periodic reports as well as petitions from individuals and States.
