A compilation of relevant texts adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has carried out impressive work in the area of combating racism and intolerance. Its adopted texts cover a range of issues, including anti-gypsyism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and intolerance targeting migrants. Not only do these documents take stock of the situation, analysing the challenges faced by European societies, they also indicate a variety of measures to address them which should be implemented by the legislators and policy makers of the Council of Europe’s member States.
In view of the upsurge of intolerance and the emergence of new forms of racism, as observed by all the Assembly rapporteurs who have been active in this area, much remains to be done, particularly in terms of follow-up to adopted texts and their implementation in national legislation and policies.
