A human rights body has warned of the ongoing use of racial profiling among law enforcement officers in Europe, signifying issues in race relations, Africanews reported May 29th.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) said in a report released on May 28th, that racial profiling occurs during stop-and-search procedures and at border control.
Racial profiling sees law enforcement operate on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion or citizenship, at the expense of clear evidence. In conversation with Euronews, Chair of the ECRI, Bertil Cottier, said: “We’ve noticed that no member state of the Council of Europe is really immune when it comes to racial profiling,”
