But international human rights law, developed over decades to address and respond to human rights violations around the world, offers important frameworks and rules to address racism and race discrimination. Human rights law has already been utilized by some advocates for change in the U.S., but not as much as in other countries. This distinguished panel will offer perspectives on whether and how an international human rights lens provides an added value for discussions of, and solutions to, problems of racism in the United States. It will consider how human rights law might change ongoing conversations, as well as its limits. It will also offer a comparison between the use of human rights on issues of race discrimination in the United States and South Africa. Please note: This event will be held virtually EST through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
