Happening at UN Geneva
Committee Against Torture (CAT)
The Committee Against Torture (CAT) is a body of 10 independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment by its States parties.
The Committee works to hold States accountable for human rights violations, systematically investigating reports of torture in order to stop and prevent this crime.
Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by its States parties.
Racial discrimination remains a barrier to the full realization of human rights. Despite progress in some areas, exclusions and restrictions based on race, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin continue to cause conflict, suffering and loss of life. CERD works to take action against the injustice of racial discrimination, and the dangers it represents.
International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
UN Geneva will host the commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on Friday, 28 November at the Palais des Nations, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 32/40B of 2 December 1977.
