-------------------------
The promotion of tolerance and respect for other people has formed an
integral part of the work of the Council of Europe since its
foundation in 1949.
The Council of Europe's action in this field was given a new impetus
at the first Summit of Heads of State and Government of the member
States of the Council of Europe held in Vienna in October 1993.
Alarmed by the resurgence of the phenomena of racism, xenophobia and
antisemitism and the emergence of a climate of intolerance, the Heads
of State and Government taking part in the Vienna Summit adopted a
Declaration and a Plan of Action on combating racism, xenophobia,
antisemitism and intolerance.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) was set
up as a result of this Plan of Action.
The task of ECRI is to: review member States' legislation, policies
and other measures to combat racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and
intolerance and their effectiveness; propose further action at local,
national and European level; formulate general policy recommendations
to member States; study international legal instruments applicable in
the matter with a view to their reinforcement where appropriate.
ECRI started its work on 22 March 1994 and decided, as a first stage,
to take stock of the situation in Europe in terms of the issues it
deals with.
As concern the relevant legislation currently in force in the member
States of the Council of Europe, ECRI asked the Swiss Institute of
Comparative Law (Lausanne), acting as a consultant, to make a study on
this issue. The present report reproduces the results of this study.
It should be noted that the study was conducted independently by the
Swiss Institute of Comparative Law and does not fall under the
responsibility of ECRI, the Council of Europe or its member States.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance and the
Directorate of Human Rights of the Council of Europe wish to thank the
Swiss Institute of Comparative Law for the very high quality of its
work and its constructive co-operation.
