From Global Standards to Local Justice: 60 Years in the Struggle Against Racial Discrimination and Police Violence

From Global Standards to Local Justice: 60 years in the Struggle Against Racial Discrimination and Police Violence.

2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), one of the oldest UN human rights conventions targeting oppression and discrimination. Over the past 60 years, the civil rights movement in the United States and anti-racist movements around the world have secured landmark gains. At the same time, systemic racism and deep racial inequalities persist, including the epidemic of police brutality in the United States.

During the week of February 17-20, join the Human Rights Program in honoring the movement against racism and police violence and reflecting upon today’s challenges with two upcoming events.
