The fight against apartheid

Racism is a belief or behavior that elevates the status of a group based on inherited elements related to the nature or ability of people, and sometimes on skin color, language, culture, customs, or beliefs.
International Criminal Court
In 2002, the International Criminal Court defined the crime of apartheid by the Rome Statute:
A crime against humanity “is committed in the context of an institutionalized system of systematic oppression and control by one ethnic group over any other ethnic group or groups and is committed with the intent to maintain that order.”
The International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1973 and entered into force in 1976) defines apartheid as “a serious threat to international peace and security.”
Article 2 of the same convention states that the term “crime of apartheid” is applied to inhuman acts committed with the aim of establishing and maintaining the rule of a racial group over any other racial group and its systematic persecution:
