Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community A U.N. regional human rights program office was launched in Pretoria in August, joining representatives of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and of the High Commissioner for Refugees already present in South Africa. The Human Rights Institution Strengthening Project for South Africa, which began in 1997, provided technical expertise to key institutions and other assistance. The U.N. special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance visited South Africa in February 1998, in response to concerns voiced by Human Rights Watch and others about discrimination towards foreigners in South Africa. In June, South Africa presented its first report under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW); it also backed the creation of an International Criminal Court at the Rome diplomatic conference.
