"Elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and fight against racial prejudices"

 

 

"As we all know, racism and racial discrimination is far from over. Although we call our world a "global village" - a world which, unfortunately, lacks a sense of intimacy in relation to a neighbor in the community, which is meant by the word "village". In each region, and in all countries, there are problems caused by either a lack of respect, or lack of recognition of the dignity and equality inherent in all human beings ... ". 

Mary Robinson, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, March 24, 1999 

 

A fundamental principle of the United Nations and international humanitarian law is the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of race. This principle is clearly stated in the preamble of the UN Charter, which reaffirms "faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person", as well as in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says that "everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, "" freedom of opinion and expression of their "and that education" shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups. "

Despite the ongoing efforts of the international community, racial discrimination and related large-scale violence continued to be observed in various parts of the world. The only difference is that today they occur with less publicity in the course of daily activities of the government and in civil society. Objects of intolerance are invariably migrants, indigenous peoples, racial minorities. Millions of people are still discriminated against solely because of skin color or other factors indicating that they belong to a particular race. A ban on the wearing of the burqa in France and Belgium in public places (2010), the desire of Italy and the Netherlands to introduce a similar ban in their countries, discrimination Uzbek population in the south of Kyrgyzstan (2010), constant clashes with the authorities of the French Roma, the situation of national minorities in Latvia are proof of that.

The ideology of racism is directly related to the economic development of societies. Inequality between the North and the South, poverty, social exclusion, marginalization, homogenization of culture - these are the conditions for creating a sense of frustration, resentment, envy, rivalry, contempt and hatred. They have more poverty, lead to an increase in genetic manifestations of racism and discrimination.
