Grand Final
In ethnically diverse post-conflict states, This house supports the adoption of ethnic classification bans. (ooooo)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
Following the Rwandan genocide, Rwanda instituted a ban on 'ethnic classification.' This law made it illegal with the exception of very particular 'non-divisive' contexts (eg. academic analysis of the genocide) to publicly identify yourself or others as a member of a particular ethnic group (eg. Hutu or Tutsi), and removed ethnic identity on all identification documents; replacing it with the sole identification of 'Rwandan'.
