ANNOTATION: The compliance of the U.S. with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is reviewed.

The U.S. often fails in its processing of criminal court cases due to prosecutorial authority and discretion, indigent defense services, and mandatory minimum sentencing practices.
