What is the current status of apartheid in countries that have or have had apartheid policies in place?
Which was a result of apartheid?The black majority was kept in an inferior position.AnswerThe term "apartheid" is an Afrikaans word which was used to as the name of the discriminatory racial policies of the South African Government which lasted from 1948 to 1990. However in 1966, the General Assembly of the United Nations labelled apartheid as a crime against humanity and the Apartheid Convention, adopted by the General Assembly in 1973 not only declared that apartheid was unlawful because it violated the Charter of the United Nations, but in addition it declared apartheid to be criminal.Article 2 of the Apartheid Convention defines the crime of apartheid -"which shall include similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practised in southern Africa" - as covering "inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them". It then lists the acts that fall within the ambit of the crime. Hence the term apartheid is now applied to other countries such as Israel which have racially discriminatory legal systems.All South African apartheid laws such as the Population Registration Act, Group Areas act, the Immorality act, and Segregation of Amenities, have been repealed. Petty apartheid laws were repealed between 1986 and 1988. Between 1990 and 1991, all legal systems for dealing with apartheid were abolished, and in 1991, the last major apartheid acts were repealed.Due to the history of apartheid, imbalances still remain in society, with most of the money and the land belonging to whites.Affirmative action, and in particular the Employment Equity Act, allow employers to now discriminate in favour of people from disadvantaged communities, in an attempt to balance the racial scales of employment.
