(CNSNews.com) – U.N. human rights officials reviewing the United States’ record on racial justice raised concerns this week over the “pushback” against the teaching of critical race theory, and the impact of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade on racial and ethnic minorities.

They also expressed confidence that building pressure in the U.S. would ultimately lead to reparations for slavery – an issue lawmakers have been grappling with for three decades – and suggested that executive action by the president may be appropriate.

 

The officials were answering questions at a briefing in Geneva about the just-completed periodical review of U.S. implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), a treaty ratified by the U.S. in 1994.

A large U.S. interagency delegation took part in the CERD review in mid-August, presenting a report and fielding questions from a committee comprising what the U.N. calls “18 independent experts who are persons of high moral standing and acknowledged impartiality.”
