Guides to Using UN and Regional Human Rights Systems to Address Global Racial Justice

International and regional human rights systems are powerful, yet often daunting tools for change. For many civil society organizations, it can be difficult to navigate these systems and translate complex human rights and social issues—such as climate change or migration—into the framework of non-discrimination and equality.

These comprehensive guides are designed to empower civil society organizations with the practical tools to use the United Nations and regional human rights systems for actionable justice.

One guide focuses on different avenues within the United Nations human rights system, particularly its anti-racism framework, to address global racial justice issues. The other guide is tailored to those seeking to address global racial justice issues in the Americas using different avenues within the Inter-American human rights system.
