What does ICERD stand for?

• A. International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)
• B. International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)
• C. International Court on Environmental Rights Decisions (ICERD)
• D. Intergovernmental Committee on Equality and Rights (ICERD)

Answer: (A)

ICERD stands for International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This United Nations treaty, adopted in 1965, aims to eradicate racial discrimination and promote equality, with states agreeing to prohibit discrimination and take steps to address it, including reporting on progress. The other names refer to different instruments or bodies, so they do not match ICERD.
