As part of the process of drafting the General Recommendation N° 37 on racial discrimination in the enjoyment of the right to health, ENS submitted an intervention to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) and participated in the regional consultation held on 5 March 2024. The first draft of that General Recommendation is available.
ENS’ intervention highlighted challenges stateless people and people at risk of statelessness face in accessing the right to health, due to factors such as discrimination, antigypsyism, lack of identification documents, and other barriers. Challenges disproportionately impact minoritised groups such as Romani people. We also submitted our comments on the first draft of the General Recommendation.
