Decree 65,810 of 8 December 1969 promulgated Brazil’s adherence to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The convention established international obligations against racial discrimination, providing a legal language that activists could invoke. Its promulgation occurred under a military dictatorship, when political repression sharply constrained public organizing; international commitments therefore did not by themselves end racial hierarchy or guarantee implementation.
