Themes Concluded (1998-2024)

Racism and all forms of Discrimination and Intolerance

In March 2010, the Inter-American Juridical Committee (CJI) adopted the document titled “Comments on the Draft Inter-American Convention against Racism and all forms of Discrimination and Intolerance”, document CJI/doc.339/09 rev.2, that encompasses ten comments submitted to the Working Group of the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs of the OAS in charge of preparing said draft, with the purpose of contributing to strengthening this important Inter-American draft instrument.

It should be noted as background to the topic that in 2002 the CJI adopted a report entitled “Elaboration of a Draft Inter-American Convention Against Racism and all Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance”, document CJI/doc.80/02 rev.3 corr.1 through of which eight conclusions were formulated, together with the resolution that approves them.
