The UN has stressed that profiling based on race, ethnicity, nationality, migration status or religion in law enforcement, constitutes a violation of human rights.
The reminder was made in Geneva, at the commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, held annually on March the 21st.
Speakers recommended that States should enact laws, that outlaw racial and ethnic profiling, adding that law enforcement agencies should also initiate investigations.
