An 11 August 2000 United Nations Press Release states:
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination this afternoon adopted its concluding observations and recommendations on the reports of Slovakia and the Czech Republic on their performance to combat racial bias in those countries.
Both Slovakia and the Czech Republic are among the 156 States parties to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and as such they must provide the Committee with periodic reports on the manner in which they are implementing the provisions of that human rights instrument.
The Slovak and Czech Republic reports are posted in French and English on the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) Website at http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu2/6/cerd/cerds57.htm. The Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on those reports are located on the UNHCHR Website at http://www.unhchr.ch/Huricane/Huricane ... ecd20b7f11c125693b00297fdb?Open Document.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
