The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Racism: an open wound in humanity's side
Vatican Radio website, the voice of the Pope
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March.
On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid "pass laws".
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.
Since then, the apartheid system in South Africa has been dismantled. Racist laws and practices have been abolished in many countries, and an international framework for fighting racism, guided by the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has been drawn up.
However still, in all regions of the world, too many individuals, communities and societies suffer from the injustice and stigma that racism brings.
Linda Bordoni spoke to South African lawyer Mike Pothier about the significance of this annual observance.
