A highlight of this report is the Cuban Government's analysis of the origin and persistence of racism and racial discrimination, as well as of the measures intended to combat these scourges in the context of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.
The Special Rapporteur has drawn attention to the manifestations of anti-Semitism which have occurred in Australia, Austria, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. He also deals with racist violence and the activities of far-right and neo-Nazi organizations in Austria and Norway.
He also discusses racial discrimination in the application of the death penalty in the United States of America, environmental racism and racial discrimination in efforts to curb the drug traffic in that country and presents information on the situation of the Dalits in India.
The allegations examined by the Special Rapporteur concern Austria, Canada, Colombia and Israel. |
