Racial Segregation can be defined as dividing people into separate groups based on race or ethnic groups and depriving them of their rights. It is a crime according to the ruling of the international criminal court. Segregation of people and exploitation of their rights led to major movements, for example, the apartheid movement by Nelson Mandela and Black Lives Matter in the US.
Separating any group of people because of their race and not letting them become part of the country is a discriminatory act that has been condemned and considered a crime as it excluded people to have equal rights as citizens of any country. For example, George Floyd's death sparked protests in the US. He was shot dead by the authorities that became a flashpoint for protest against government authorities. People protested and equate with racial segregation in global politics.
It is the sense of superiority over the other group by another to repress them of their rights. It is driven usually by discrediting other groups by bulldozing their rights. For example, Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar were ethically discriminated against by Buddhist monks by the authorities and forced to leave their country due to the horrendous killing of Muslims in Myanmar.
Black Lives Matter is one movement that has been a source of unrest in the US. The black Americans have been executed on criminal charges and denied a free and fair trial. It is often linked to depriving them of their basic rights. In context, Myanmar protestors blame the authorities for negligence and murder of their citizen without a trial.
Segregation is prohibited by United Nations Conventions and Myanmar as a violation of human rights. Every individual should be given the right to free trial and equality before International law that is validated by the United Nations Charter signed by all the sovereign states of the world. The separation of people on race and ethnic identity is punishable and cannot be overlooked by experts.
