In March 2004 the Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA) published a report by the authors of this study regarding the judicial treatment of the issue of racism against people of African descent in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic.1 The report was commissioned by the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) in the context of existing OAS initiatives, ultimately for the formulation of an Inter-American Convention for the Prevention of Racism and All Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance.2 This article is based on that report. It contains some of sections from the original reports, summarizes other parts, and includes new information (specifically related to the Inter-American system). |
