📅 28 Mei 2021 📍 Brazil

Brazil deposited its instrument of ratification of the Inter-American Convention against Racism, Racial Discrimination and Related Forms of Intolerance with the Organization of American States. The convention commits states to prevent, prohibit, and eliminate racial discrimination and intolerance. Brazil’s action gave an international legal framework a place in domestic debate after decades of organizing for recognition of structural racism. Ratification creates obligations and standards, but does not by itself guarantee enforcement or repair harms rooted in slavery and its aftermath.
