The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has noted that: “The list of human rights to which [the principle of non-discrimination] applies under the Convention is not closed and extends to any field of human rights regulated by the public authorities in the State party.”365 In practice, as noted elsewhere, the list of rights to which the right to non-discrimination has been applied by the Committee is extensive.366 365 Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, general recommendation No. 32 (2009), para. 9. In a similar regard, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has noted that the list of areas of rights covered by the relevant Convention is non-exhaustive and extends, inter alia, to any “domestic or any other field”. Further to this understanding, States parties are required to “enact legislation that prohibits discrimination in all fields of women’s lives under the Convention”. See Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, general recommendation No. 28 (2010), paras. 4, 7 and 31. 366 For instance, based on an assessment of practice under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Patrick Thornbury identifies the following rights: “language rights, the right to a name and identity rights writ large; participation rights widened beyond the ‘political’ sphere; reproductive rights; the right to family life; the right to food; a battery of rights associated with refugees and asylum-seekers including non-refoulement, the right to asylum, and the right to appeal against denials of refugee status; economic, social and cultural rights including the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to water, and the right to register the births of children”.
