This document should be read in refenece to the Special Rapporteur’s on Minority Issues annual report on ”discrimination based on caste and analogous systems of inherited status”, which noted that ”the two major cultural and ethnolinguistic groups, the Arab-Berber (commonly referred to as Moors), which includes the Beidane and the Haratines (also known as black moors) and some of the Afro-Mauritanian communities (including the Peuhl, Soninke, Wolof and Bambara), present divisions along ethnic and caste lines. <...> Relations among the different castes are very hierarchical and result in the exclusion and marginalization of certain castes”.
