A Runnymede Trust report claimed racial inequalities are worse now than they were when the previous report was submitted to the UN in 2016
The UK government’s approach to race equality in England is at risk of failing international human rights commitments, the Runnymede Trust hasAn independent think tank on race equality and race relations, Runnymede said Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government “stands in clear breach” of numerous articles in the UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination – a treaty aimed at eradicating all forms of racial discrimination.
Endorsed by 78 NGOs and race equality organisations, the report’s findings include that Black people are about eighteen times more likely to be searched than their white counterparts; minority children make up over half the child prison population; and minority groups with learning disabilities die younger than whites.
An independent report is submitted to the UN committee every four years alongside an equivalent report the government is required to submit to CERD. The government’s report due in April 2020 was not submitted because of the pandemic. Lord Simon Wolley, a former government adviser on race and director of Operation Black Vote, said the Sewell report represented a “lost opportunity to effectively tackle systemic racism in the UK”.
