Following three days of examination of Guyana’s periodic report, the United Nations Human Rights Committee on the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR) has called for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation here.
In its concluding observations following the March 18 to 20 hearings in Geneva, Switzerland, the Committee noted that the State Party had said that it was reviewing the Prevention of Discrimination Act of 1997. However the Committee was not satisfied with this.
