At the 102nd session which took place online from 16th to 24th November, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) adopted follow-up letters to Cuba, Guatemala, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro and the Republic of Korea.

Within one year of the adoption of concluding observations, States parties are required to provide information on the implementation of the specific recommendations identified by the CERD (follow-up recommendations), in accordance with Article 9 (1) of the Convention and rule 65 of the rules of procedure.
