The Race Question is the first of four UNESCO statements about issues of race. It was issued on 18 July 1950 following World War II and Nazi racism. The statement was an attempt to clarify what was scientifically known about race and a moral condemnation of racism. It was criticized on several accounts and revised versions were publicized in 1951, 1967 and 1978.
