UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is a group of experts that oversees how countries follow the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. It reviews reports from governments about their efforts to prevent racial discrimination and promote equality. The committee also examines issues raised by individuals or groups and makes recommendations to improve laws, policies, and practices. Its goal is to fight racism and ensure all people are treated fairly, regardless of their race or ethnicity, supporting a more just and inclusive global society.
