United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination

The United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) is an international treaty that aims to promote equality and prevent racism worldwide. Countries that sign and ratify it commit to condemning racial discrimination, eliminating xenophobia, and promoting understanding among races. The convention encourages laws and policies to protect people from racial injustice and discrimination in areas like employment, education, and public services. It also establishes monitoring mechanisms to ensure countries adhere to these commitments, fostering a more inclusive and equitable global society free from racial bias.
