Spotlight in Geneva
In August, Professor Martha Davis and Jenny Wakefield ’23 traveled to Geneva for a meeting of the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), which reviewed US compliance with the Race Convention. PHRGE submitted two shadow reports to CERD: “Race and Representation in the United States: Civil Right to Counsel as a Human Right,” and “Toward an Effective National Human Rights Institution for the United States of America,” on behalf of the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel and the International Association of Official Human Rights Agencies, respec- tively. “Geneva was a place for imagining an America where human rights and racial justice are firmly enshrined and respected,” wrote Davis in a reflection for the Human Rights at Home Blog.
