Conclusion International provisions on racial discrimination in employment are not in themselves enough-there must also be a domestic legislation. Although in some countries racial discrimination in employment is covered by criminal law, many commentators are not convinced that this is the best way of countering it. For Banton ,the French experience shows that while criminal law can be effective in dealing with racial defamation it is ineffective in dealing with discrimination in the workplace.
British experience suggests that remedies in civil law are more effective.
It is also important for legislation to recognise the distinction between direct and indirect discrimination.
