La CIJ note avec satisfaction que le texte adopté par la Commission arabe permanente des droits de l’homme présente des améliorations notables par rapport au texte de 1994 et au texte adopté en octobre 2003.
Aux termes de deux sessions extraordinaires de la Commission arabe permanente des droits de l’homme aux mois de juin et d’octobre 2003 entièrement consacrées à la « modernisation » de la Charte arabe des droits de l’homme et au cours desquelles les propositions des Etats membres de la Ligue ont été discutées, un texte final a été adopté lors de la réunion complémentaire à sa deuxième session extraordinaire qui s’est tenue du 4 au 15 janvier 2004.

Racial discrimination remains a pervasive problem in criminal justice systems. While some countries are starting to recognize the deeply rooted nature of the phenomenon and to compile date in order to counter it, there is still little awareness for it in many countries.
Also, Government reports are often incomplete.
In order to give guidance to States on the issue, a General Recommendation by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is timely and useful.
This paper seeks to gather some ideas of recommendations from national reports, reports of the UN Special Rapporteurs and experts, NGO reports and other material. The recommendations are organized according to the different stages of the criminal justice system: police conduct, courts and prisons. It also gives some elements to be taken into account in more structural manner: access to justice, methods of structural, institutional change and data collection.
