Description

Presenting an analysis of the elimination of racial discrimination in international law, this book assesses the movement against racial discrimination, which has dominated human rights discourse since the UN's inception. It evaluates the strategies that have informed the work of the UN treaty-based and charter-based bodies in this area, and maps a new path that moves from standard-setting to implementation. Through the lens of the Hindu caste system, the book seeks to provide a benchmark on the achievements of the international community in combatting all forms of racial discrimination, and the policies that must inform future measures. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international human rights and law.
