International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)

The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) is a global treaty that aims to eliminate racism and racial discrimination in all its forms. Countries that sign this agreement commit to promoting equality, banning discriminatory practices, and taking legal and social measures to combat racism. It encourages nations to protect individuals from racial hatred, prejudice, and injustice, ensuring everyone is treated fairly regardless of their race, ethnicity, or national origin. ICERD is part of the broader effort to uphold human rights and promote peaceful, inclusive societies worldwide.
