Race And Religion In The United Nations Committee On The Elimination Of Racial Discrimination, José A. Lindgren Alves

University of San Francisco Law Review

This Article analyzes the work of CERD in the area of religion, a field which, by definition, would not necessarily be covered by the mandate of a committee devoted to the eradication of racism and racial discrimination. Notwithstanding this difference of scope, to the extent that, in the contemporary world, race and religion appear increasingly interwoven, the work of CERD on religion has gradually become accepted and considered necessary.
