Struggle against discrimination
Studies on human rights Series
At the dawn of this new millennium and new century, the world is still deeply marked by the innumerable human rights violations scarring the landscape in so many regions. The situation is clearly not getting any better. Lack of democracy, terrorism, violence, discrimination, increasing poverty, along with the negative effect of some aspects of globalization -- all these have engendered human rights violations which require that the actors involved readjust and adopt a changed approach in their efforts to right the wrongs.

New challenges have been added to the old ones, particularly through the adverse effects of globalization, cyberspace and the fight against terrorism, making the space for action and analysis more complex. Against this complexity, a different, better way of meeting the challenges is to propose rigorous, punctilious analyses that can open up avenues for new strategies on the ground. Hence, Human Rights research is now of increasing importance, a fact of which UNESCO is well aware. The series, Studies on Human Rights, will regularly publish a selection of research findings.

This issue of the series explores some of the central themes linked to racism, xenophobia and discrimination. Three years after the Durban World Conference on Racism, in which UNESCO played an active part, these phenomena remain at the centre not only of current affairs but also of the overall Human Rights debate.
