Racism and intolerance: a lot done, a lot more to do

THE European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) recently published its third report on Ireland.

One of the pillars of ECRI’s work programme is its country-by-country approach whereby it analyses the situation as regards racism and intolerance in each of the member states and makes proposals as to how to tackle the problems identified.

The third-round reports focus on implementation, examine whether ECRI’s main recommendations from previous reports have been put into operation, and, if so, with what degree of success.
