About our databaseMore than 3,000 items of documentation on racism and related topics are indexed, ranging from Abduction to Xenophobia. They cover more than 165 countries -- all the signatories of the CERD convention -- and more than 180 minority/ethnic groups. Some of them are difficult to obtain elsewhere. Most are in English and are recent rather than historical.
Future plans include adding the complete text of some documents to the database (in PDF format) .
