ICERD is a United Nations Treaty. It “commits its members to the elimination of racial discrimination and the promotion of understanding among all races.” (Wikipedia)
March 21 is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the United Nations General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. Building on that, in 1981 King County adopted a series of ordinances prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations and contracting.
