E/CN.4/1992/52 page 144 United States of America In its reply, the Government of the United States of America indicated that "the US Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents discrimination against any person on the basis of their religion in access to accommodations, education, federally assisted programs and employment (42 U.S.C.A. SFC. 1981 ET SEQ.). The act ensures that civil actions can be brought against every person who, under colour of state law, subjects any citizen of the United States or other person to a deprivation of any rights, privileges or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States (42 U.S.C.A. SEC 1983). Civil action can be brought by the aggrieved persons or by the Attorney-General of the United States (See 42 U.S.C.A. SEC 1997A, 2000A-3, 2000B, 2000C-6, 2000E-6). The Attorney-General can act on his own resolve or based on a petition from an aggrieved person who is unable to bring the civil action because of financial or personal safety considerations. For employment discrimination, the act established an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (42 U.S.C.A. SEC 2000E-4). The EEOC investigates charges of employment discrimination. If the EEOC finds the allegations of employment discrimination to be true, it attempts to eliminate the discriminatory employment practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation and persuasion."
