The threat nationalist populism poses to the enjoyment of human rights and racial equality A/73/305

This report examines the threat posed by nationalist populism to the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and equality, highlighting how ascendant populist ideologies fuel racial discrimination, intolerance, and structural inequality. It maps the global rise of exclusionary policies and practices that harm marginalized groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, and intersecting identities such as gender, sexual orientation, disability, and migratory status. The report condemns the enduring legacies of racial exclusion created by these ideologies and calls for international standards to combat nationalist populism, protect human rights, and advance racial equality.
