In a significant ruling, a majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court (STF) voted to overturn a Santa Catarina state law that had prohibited racial quotas. The judgment, taking place on the court’s virtual platform, reaffirms the constitutional basis for affirmative action policies in one of the world’s most racially diverse nations. The vote is expected to conclude on Friday, April 17.
