The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid "pass laws". Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Day%20for%20the%20Elimination%20of%20Racial%20Discrimination

La Journée internationale pour l'élimination de la discrimination raciale est célébrée chaque année le 21 mars, pour commémorer ce jour de 1960 où, à Sharpeville (Afrique du Sud), la police a ouvert le feu et tué 69 personnes lors d'une manifestation pacifique contre les lois relatives aux laissez-passer imposées par l'apartheid. En proclamant la Journée internationale en 1966, l'Assemblée générale a engagé la communauté internationale à redoubler d'efforts pour éliminer toutes les formes de discrimination raciale. 1, record 1, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20internationale%20pour%20l%27%C3%A9limination%20de%20la%20discrimination%20raciale
