But signing a declaration and actually implementing new laws are two different things. ","Source: UN","Already by the year 2000 more than 150 states had ratified the convention.\n\nThere is a difference between signatories and parties to a UN convention. Signatories who have not ratified the convention are not bound to it and are simply showing that they intend to become parties to the treaty later. Only Bhutan, Nauru and Palau are signatories who have not ratified the treaty. \n\n182 states are parties to the treaty, which legally binds them to a convention “subject to valid reservations, understandings and declarations”. Only 10 countries or states, Brunei, Kiribati, North Korea, Malaysia, Micronesia, Myanmar, Samoa, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and South Sudan have not signed the convention.\n\nThe UN has 193 member states with a right to vote. Palestine and the Vatican are observing  countries, but have still ratified the international convention on racial discrimination.\n\n[1]  [List of signatories and parties to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination](https:\u002F\u002Ftreaties.un.org\u002FPages\u002FViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-2&chapter=4)  \n[2]  [Full text of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ohchr.org\u002FEN\u002FProfessionalInterest\u002FPages\u002FCERD.aspx)  \n[3]  [Countries that have ratified the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination by Gapminder.](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\u002Fspreadsheets\u002Fd\u002F1Wqq3t17i-bJKWlVQn-rdR1Nl6vux41WUaIQhvC24BVU\u002Fedit#gid=0)  ","In the mid-1960s, UN members adopted a convention to try to to stop racial hatred and incitement to hatred, to combat prejudice and guarantee employment without discrimination. They were lofty goals and many people are surprised to learn that nearly every country has recognized these aims and agreed to be legally bound to them. \n\nIt sounds impressive and in many ways, it is amazing to get nearly every country to recognize that racial discrimination is bad. \nBut we all know that racism hasn’t ended. That people are still not given jobs based on their skin color or religion, among many other things. \n\nAgreeing that the principles in a convention are correct is the first step. Introducing laws, educating the public and enforcing laws are a much bigger step that need to be taken to make the convention effective.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\nWe often think that people in other places are more racist than we are in our country. That makes it harder to imagine collaborating with others and progress towards a more equal world. \n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\nWe hear that other countries are weird, fantastic or scary, which makes it hard to recognize that everywhere most people have similar interests and goals and live pretty normal lives. \n\n### Can I trust the data?\nYes, it comes [directly from the UN](https:\u002F\u002Ftreaties.un.org\u002FPages\u002FViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-2&chapter=4). 182 countries are parties to the treaty, which legally binds a country to a convention “subject to valid reservations, understandings and declarations”.\n","Most promise to ban racism"]
