On December 21, 1965, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) through Resolution 2106 (XX), marking a groundbreaking step in the global effort to eradicate racism. As the first of the UN’s core international human rights treaties, ICERD set the stage for future human rights advancements.
