International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination — Article 4 (incitement to racial hatred)

UN General Assembly (1965) · OHCHR treaty corpus

tlte-cite:icerd-art-4

Editorial gloss

ICERD Art 4 requires states parties — including Sri Lanka and the UK — to criminalise dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority/hatred and incitement to racial discrimination. Direct legal anchor for the desk's ask that Sri Lanka enforce its existing ICCPR Act §3 against majority-targeted-on-minority incitement at the same threshold it does against minority speech.
