All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination. PLAIN LANGUAGE VERSION: The law is the same for everyone; it should be applied in the same way to all. Illustrated version NOTES: The principle of equality before the law is especially important for groups that are in the minority, such as indigenous people, or groups that have less political or other power, such as the poor. This also means that judges, government officials and police are also answerable to the same body of law. DEFINITIONS: To incite discrimination is to encourage others to practice discrimination.

Should additional public actions be taken to close the racial gap? If so, what should be done? Choice #1 Civil Rights Strategy: Prohibiting Discrimination, Enforcing the Laws Our public commitment is to uphold the principle of equality under the law, for people of all races. The government's obligation is to make sure the rules of the game are the same for everyone. But equality of opportunity does not necessarily lead to equal results. Choice #2 Affirmative Action Strategy: Taking Race into Consideration Equal opportunity is not enough. Government must take measures to ensure equal results, even if affirmative action benefits minority groups at the expense of others. Racial equality can be achieved only by allowing preferences for groups that have suffered from discrimination.

Past Features Robel and Zoller co-write book for French press "From the beginning, the status of blacks in the U.S. has been determined by the individual states. Federalism and the race question are two sides of the same coin. Federalism has bred a certain form of racism; but at the same time, racial discrimination encountered by American blacks cannot be eliminated except in accordance with the principles of federalism. This surprising paradox arises from the fact that, at the same time that it requires consideration of difference and "otherness," federalism also requires rethinking the very idea of equality. With affirmative action, a new principle of equality has taken shape in America. Before condemning it wholesale in the name of a set understanding of equality before the law, one ought first to understand it thoroughly, especially in the face of rising racism in Europe and the prevalence of racial discrimination in France today."from Lauren Robel and Elisabeth Zoller are co-authors of , a new book analyzing affirmative action in the context of American legal and political structures for a French readership.

We are opposed to all forms of discrimination. CONTRIBUTE! Make a tax-deductible contribution to Adversity.Net Giving special treatment or preference to any individual or group because of their demographics (race, gender, ethnicity) automatically results in illegal and unconstitutional discrimination against the individual or group who is excluded from such special treatment. We oppose all forms of preferential treatment and all forms of discrimination including so-called reverse discrimination. Laws, programs, policies, and regulations which dictate that individuals or groups with certain demographic characteristics receive preferential treatment are unconstitutional and should not be tolerated by American voters. There is no possible justification legally, constitutionally, ethically, or philosophically for such discrimination, regardless of the stated purpose. More discrimination does not remedy past discrimination.

79. News extent of Intercultural Awareness, Communication and racial equality in Irish MichaelMcDowell, TD, Minister for Justice, equality and law Reform recently http://www.irishprisons.ie/news.asp

Contents New Irish Prison Racial Awareness Publication The Irish Prison Service is today releasing two reports on the nature and extent of Intercultural Awareness, Communication and Racial Equality in Irish Prisons. They are available now to be downloaded from the Prison Service website, www.Irishprisons.ie and will be published in printed format next week. These reports were commissioned from two independent service providers, namely NTDI (The National Training and Development Institute) and Fitzpatrick Associates. NTDI was the lead contractor delivering an action research and training project involving both prisoners and prison officers at Wheatfield Prison, Dublin. Fitzpatrick Associates provided an independent evaluation of the project and recommendations for future action. Seán Aylward, Director General of the Prison Service welcomed the two new publications. He complimented the two independent contractors involved, NTDI and Fitzpatrick's Associates on their work and thanked prison staff and prisoners who co-operated with the project. Mr Aylward acknowledged that minority groups in prison have always required special care and attention to protect them from harassment and discrimination. Recent demographic developments in Ireland have created a new ethnic diversity not just in the broader population but also in the prisons where several hundred people of non-Irish backgrounds are now committed every year.
