The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination issued its concluding observations on China’s compliance with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination on Friday, August 28, 2009. The Committee said that China must “carefully consider the root causes” of inter-ethnic tensions within its borders, and identified a range of legislative and policy recommendations. Amongst the recommendations includes the adoption of a comprehensive definition of racial discrimination and the impartial investigation of all allegations of harassment, intimidation, and other acts impeding the work of lawyers.
