I absolutely agree. It is a legal matter and possible lawsuit (s). Other quita possible are libel, slander, defamation.
Prevention of discriminationEdit
Main articles: Anti-discrimination law, Equality before the law, and Institutionalized discrimination
Article 2 of the Convention condemns racial discrimination and obliges parties to “undertake to pursue by all appropriate means and without delay a policy of eliminating racial discrimination in all its forms”.[6] It also obliges parties to promote understanding among all races.[6] To achieve this, the Convention requires that signatories:
- Not practice racial discrimination in public institutions[28]
- Not “sponsor, defend, or support” racial discrimination[29]
- Review existing policies, and amend or revoke those that cause or perpetuate racial discrimination[30]
- Prohibit “by all appropriate means, including legislation,” racial discrimination by individuals and organisations within their jurisdictions[31]
- Encourage groups, movements, and other means that eliminate barriers between races, and discourage racial division[32]
Parties are obliged “when the circumstances so warrant” to use positive discrimination policies for specific racial groups to guarantee “the full and equal enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms”.[33] However, these measures must be finite, and “shall in no case entail as a consequence the maintenance of unequal or separate rights for different racial groups after the objectives for which they were taken have been achieved”.[33]
Article 5 expands upon the general obligation of Article 2 and creates a specific obligation to guarantee the right of everyone to equality before the law regardless of “race, colour, or national or ethnic origin”.[34] It further lists specific rights this equality must apply to: equal treatment by courts and tribunals,[35] security of the person and freedom from violence,[36] the civil and political rights affirmed in the ICCPR,[37] the economic, social and cultural rights affirmed in the ICESCR,[38] and the right of access to any place or service used by the general public, “such as transport hotels, restaurants, cafes, theatres and parks.”[39] This list is not exhaustive, and the obligation extends to all human rights.[40]
Article 6 obliges parties to provide “effective protection and remedies” through the courts or other institutions for any act of racial discrimination.[41] This includes a right to a legal remedy and damages for injury suffered due to discrimination.[41]
