Attached, a press release from the CoE. It is a statement by the Secretary Genearal in occasion of the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
An important information contained in the press release is about the Protocol No 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights (CETS No. 177) signed in 2000. The Protocol introduced the broadest possible prohibition of discrimination, guaranteeing that no one shall be discriminated against by any public authority on any ground.
It is interesting to see that not all the countries signed that, and amongst the one who did, not all of them enforced it...
