Right to equality before courts and tribunals and to a fair trial |
ICERD
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination |
5.a
In compliance with the fundamental obligations laid down in article 2 of this Convention, States Parties undertake to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination in all its forms and to guarantee the right of everyone, without distinction as to race, colour, or national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law, notably in the enjoyment of the following rights:
(a) The right to equal treatment before the tribunals and all other organs administering justice;
|
Transfers and other changes to tenure rights and duties
15. Redistributive reforms |
15.4
Where States choose to implement redistributive reforms, they should ensure that the reforms are consistent with their obligations under
national and international law, and voluntary commitments under applicable regional and international instruments. Reforms should follow
the rule of law and be implemented according to national laws and procedures. States should facilitate the development of consultations,
consistent with the principles of these Guidelines, on the redistribution, including balancing the needs of all parties, and on the approaches to
be used. Partnerships between the State; communities; civil society; the private sector; organizations of farmers and small-scale food producers, of fishers, and of forest users; and other parties should be developed.
The financial and other contributions expected of beneficiaries should be reasonable and not leave them with unmanageable debt loads. Those who
give up their tenure rights to land, fisheries and forests should receive equivalent payments without undue delay.
