The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a comprehensive guidance tool addressing caste-based discrimination in 2017 entitled “Guidance Tool on Descent-Based Discrimination: Key Challenges and Strategic Approaches to Combat Caste-Based and Analogous Forms of Discrimination”. The tool is meant to support UN country teams, agencies and other stakeholders in combatting caste-based discrimination and has been welcomed by UN stakeholders as well as human rights activists across the world.
