The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) has called for France to improve the recording of police identity controls and to recognise Travellers’ caravans as a type of housing.
Its latest report also recommends human rights training for people working in schools; measures to ensure that the dismantling of migrant camps is supervised, and improved measures to combat racism and LGBTI-phobic speech in politics.
ECRI welcomed progress in tackling discrimination and harassment in education; simplified school enrolment procedures for minors in irregular situations; better monitoring of hate speech; progress on recognising refugees’ qualifications, and progress on LGBTI rights, such as banning “conversion therapies”.
