Comprehensive Anti Discrimination Laws Foundations for Equal Rights

Описание: Since early 2020, the Equal Rights Trust and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights have been working together to develop Protecting Minority Rights: A Practical Guide on Developing Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Law.

The Guide is the first attempt to provide comprehensive and authoritative guidance to those involved in the development of comprehensive anti-discrimination laws - laws which are essential if States are to eliminate discrimination, advance equality and leave no one behind. It consolidates and synthesizes international legal standards – as set out in the United Nations human rights conventions and the interpretations of them by the UN treaty bodies – and provides accessible guidance on the necessary scope and content of these laws if States are to meet their legal obligations. Developed in consultation and collaboration with activists, academics, and advocates involved in the development of anti-discrimination laws in every part of the world, it also brings together good practice examples from across the globe.

This working session is designed to introduce the forthcoming Guide to a wider audience and to engage with those involved in work to advance justice and the rule of law on the need to place comprehensive anti-discrimination law at the heart of these efforts.

Speakers: Claude Cahn, Regina Pajares Carrillo, Jim Fitzgerald, Justice Mumbi Ngugi, Ketevan Shubashvili, Farkhat Ibragimov, Ikta Abdoulaye Mohamed
